What we do
We work in partnership with people who use our services, carers, NHS, third and independent sector organisations to ensure that a range of services are provided to help a recovery process for people with mental health needs. These include:
Protecting vulnerable adults
People with mental health issues may be unable to take care of themselves, or protect themselves from harm, abuse or from being exploited. The work that we do is helped by two important pieces of legislation; the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS).
The Mental Health Social Work Team
The Mental Health Social Care Team is made up of both social workers and social care workers. There is a social worker available on the phone every day, to have a conversation with people who need some support to live a good life due to mental health difficulties. The team help people make connections to their neighbourhood and community, as well as considering whether more formal care and support is required under Care Act 2014 eligibility.
Joint Public Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2018-2021
This strategy was jointly produced by the City of Wolverhampton Council and the Wolverhampton Clinical Commissioning Group. Our vision is for every resident in the City of Wolverhampton to have the best mental health that they can at every stage of their life. This strategy sets out how we will achieve this.
