The Community Prevention and Engagement Team (CPET) is the social inclusion service within Adult Mental Health Services providing support to ages 18 +.
This is a social inclusion service that supports people with mental health difficulties to connect with their local community, and to improve their social networks and opportunities. This may be in the form of sports and leisure activities, social groups, arts and crafts, returning to education, and exploring other barriers to being socially included.
Support in these areas can help people to build resilience and confidence, and support their mental health recovery. Interventions are negotiated and agreed with the designated support worker in the form of a goal plan. These interventions can be supported for up to six months in the hope that individuals feel more confident and able to manage issues that are impacted upon by their mental health difficulties.
How to access the service
The service can be accessed via an electronic referral from the service user's GP and/or mental health services. This is not a self-referral service.
For service users accepted into the service, a phone call with you and one of our team will occur, to introduce ourselves and find out a little more information about you and your needs and goals.
