Service details

Islington Community Core Teams comprise NHS, social care and voluntary sector experts. There are three core teams across the borough (North, Central and South), and the service offers comprehensive mental health care and support to adults in the community.

This includes:

• mental health assessment and advice
• physical health assessment and follow-up care
• pharmacological treatment
• psychological therapies
• social care and inclusion
• peer coaching
• psycho-social support, including from voluntary sector providers
• holistic health and wellbeing support.

Using a trauma-informed approach, Islington Community Core Teams co-produce a holistic personal care and support plan with patients. Care is managed by an assigned key worker, who patients can contact during and post-treatment should they require further support.
