There are community mental health teams specifically for people under 18 and those over 65, as well as those with particular needs such as intellectual disabilities, with the majority or teams providing supports to the rest of the population. There are also in-patient units, typically attached to general hospitals, and there is usually one unit for approximately 300,000 population. The community mental health teams work closely with the in-patient units. Community Mental Health Teams are multi-disciplinary and are the main instrument in delivering community based mental health supports. Peer Support Workers in mental health services are individuals employed by an organisation to add their unique expertise deriving from their “lived experience” of mental health challenges and receiving support. Their value includes leading on social inclusion for service users in line with their care plans, facilitating better relationships between service users and providers, leading on personal recovery planning and promoting positive goals and fostering hope, especially for people using mental health services for the first time.
