Mental health services
Wolverhampton City Council's Adult Social Care Services provide services to support people with mental health needs and also to help their families.
We try to enable people to live successfully as part of the community. We work in partnership with people who use our services, carers and voluntary organisations to ensure that a range of services are provided to help a recovery process for people with mental health needs.
Services we offer:
- Community Mental Health Teams - they provide treatment and intensive support for people in their own homes. We also have a range of accommodation and a job finding team to help people back to work
- Mental Health Resource Centres - Corner House in Whitmore Reans and The Croft in Bilston are multi-purpose resource centres which provide a local point of access to services
- Intensive support - we also provide treatment during a crisis at a centre called Recovery House.
