This unit provides rehabilitation for adults (18+) experiencing a broad range of mental health issues. It also provides outreach support to community and hospital based service users who have a need for social inclusion or rehabilitation. Core service users are people with severe and enduring mental health problems who need support in recovery after the acute phase of their mental health issue has passed.
At times, the unit can appear noisy, hectic with acutely unwell patients; there may be occasions when students witness incidents of both verbal and physical aggression and self-harm.
