We recognise the importance of good mental health services across the Harrogate area, and equally the support needed for carers.
We want to know what’s important to people, what has worked well, and what needs improving to make sure services are financially sustainable in the future and, most importantly, that they meet the needs of local people. This is a priority for us all.
We now have an opportunity and the ambition to do things differently - to look closely at the type of mental health care we need to provide in Harrogate.
People who use our mental health services tell us that whenever possible they want to remain at home, close to family and friends. This means making sure that support is available when they’re experiencing a crisis.
People also tell us we should work with them and their families to help them achieve the goals they’ve set themselves, making sure they get the care and treatment they need, when and where they need it.
Local public and patient involvement groups, voluntary organisations, mental health and social care professionals and the wider community have been having their say about how services can be further improved.
