This is an opportunity to offer direct psychological services (assessment and brief intervention) to people who are experiencing their first mental health crisis - and an opportunity to make a real difference to their onward care. This would be alongside supporting and developing the psychological skills across the whole team and working across the urgent, inpatient and community pathways.
