CKH and Insight Healthcare in new mental health partnership
We are delighted to announce we are working in partnership with NHS provider, Insight Healthcare, to offer access to psychological therapies from our newly opened Health and Wellbeing Hub in Welland.
The partnership will enable people to self-refer or be referred by their GP or health care professionals and receive a free assessment to determine the best course of treatment for their needs. This may include guided self-help, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and counselling, or being referred back to their GP for secondary care. The CBT and counselling services will all be available in the Hub, which is equipped with private consulting rooms.
Claire Higgins, our Chief Executive, said of the partnership, “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to provide vital mental health services right in the heart of the community, where people need them the most. The strain on our health services is incredible and access to mental health support so vital. I see, every day, the impact that the mental health crisis the country is facing is having on both individuals and society. I am really pleased that this partnership will provide a local resource for the provision of counselling and support services for those facing mental health challenges.”
