Barking & Dagenham Mental Health & Wellness Teams (MH&WTs)

B&D North Mental Health & Wellness Team, B&D East Mental Health & Wellness Team and the B&D West Mental Health & Wellness Team have replaced the Barking and the Dagenham community recovery teams.

The new Mental Health & Wellness Teams continue to provide specialist mental health services for adults aged 18 and over with serious mental health problems. Each team is a multi-disciplinary service made up of community mental health nurses, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and support workers.

The service will assess your individual needs and work with you to develop a support plan to promote mental wellbeing and independence. We do this through a variety of community interventions and approaches, based upon the ethos of the Recovery Model.

The following are offered as part of the service but are not exhaustive:

  • Medication management, depot and clozapine clinic
  • Physical health screening and focus on maintaining health
  • Psycho educational interventions
  • Access to psychological therapies
  • Focus on employment, education and training.
  • Links to education and employment and NELFT recovery college
  • Carer’s assessments and support.
