Overview of our Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs)
CORE Team
The CORE team is the mainstay of the community mental health system. CMHTs have an important role to play in supporting consumers and families in community settings. This service provides the core around which specialist service elements are developed.
Acute Care Services (ACS)
The ACS are based at the following 3 CHCs
1. Camperdown CHC
2. Croydon CHC
3. Canterbury CHC
Each of the three ACS are linked to Community Mental Health Centres. The ACS is a multidisciplinary team that provides mental health assessment and interventions for people experiencing acute mental health problems. This service is accessible 24 hours a day, with clinicians on call after 10pm.
Assertive Outreach Teams (AOT)
The AOT are based at Croydon CHC and Camperdown CHC. The assertive outreach service was developed specifically for adults with persistent mental disorders. These consumers often have a history of fragmented care and may be difficult to engage. The model of care includes intensive home based treatment. The consumer typically requires more regular and intensive support than what the CMHT can provide.
Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP)
Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) service operates from two sites (Camperdown and Croydon) and aims to improve outcomes for young people in early stages of psychosis. Each of the EIP Services are co-located with service partners.
These co-locations are with Community Mental Health Teams (eg Croydon Mental Health and Brain Mind Research Institute/ Clinical Services / Headspace). The colocation shared models aim to improve the mental and social wellbeing of young peoplethrough the provision of high quality early intervention services that are welcoming, friendly and supportive.
