Mental Health Care news

Our Mere Suite in Hartley Hospital, Southport has been identified to support our service users, short term, during difficult times as a pilot PCDU. It has assessment rooms, overnight facilities, dining facilities, bathrooms and outside space.

South Sefton Neighbourhood Centre spectacularly marked the day with its theme, ‘Time to prioritise mental health in the work place’ with baking, photos, affirmations, posters and a mental health toolkit – well done and keep prioritising it!!

Last month, the Sefton and Kirkby Early Interventions Team (EIT) organised their first recovery stories event at Kirkdale Community Fire Station.

The Community Mental Health Transformation Team invites all Trust staff to a Tea and Talk event in Therapy Room 2 on the first floor at Norris Green Community Hub (L11 5BR). Call in any time between 12.30 and 2.30 for a hot drink and a biscuit and chat about wellbeing and looking after your mental health, as well as a mental health quiz where a leaderboard will track the winner!

Dr Nieves Mercadillo (pictured centre) retires in early October and has worked as a General Adult Consultant, with special interest in Inpatient Care.
