We are a significant provider of specialist mental health services operating across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.

We have a range of professions which work together to provide specialist mental health services to people across these regions. To find out more visit About the Trust.

Our services strongly focus on the needs of service users and carers. We deliver high quality community based services supported by high quality inpatient facilities, which provide specialist short term assessment and treatment. To find out more visit Our services.

Becoming a Foundation Trust - we aim to become an NHS Foundation Trust (FT) in 2010.

We believe that this will help us to achieve our goal of: enabling and empowering people to reach their potential and live fulfilling lives. As an NHS Foundation Trust we will be a membership organisation. We will use the interest, enthusiasm and knowledge of local people to help us all improve the lives of those with mental health needs.

 
One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at any one time. The chances of either having a mental health problem or experiencing someone close to us having a mental health problem is high – so mental wellbeing is everyone’s business. Visit our Becoming a Foundation Trust pages for further information.
