Canterbury Mental Health Together (MHT) and Mental Health Together Plus (MHT+)

Our MHT and MHT+ teams provide community-based support and treatment for adults of all ages experiencing mental health challenges. These teams bring together the expertise of the former Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) and Community Mental Health Services for Older People (CMHSOP) to make sure that care is tailored to individual needs, regardless of age

 

Who we support

We offer assessment, treatment, and ongoing support for adults facing moderate to severe mental health difficulties. This includes:

  • people aged 18+ with complex mental health needs requiring specialist intervention
  • older adults with mental health conditions complicated by age-related needs
  • individuals of any age with dementia-related needs
  • support and advice for carers, professionals and care homes

 

What to expect

After an initial assessment, we work with you to develop a personalised care plan. This may include:

  • further appointments with our specialist team
  • group sessions and therapy options
  • neuropsychological assessments
  • support for carers and loved ones

 

Our team

MHT and MHT+ bring together a diverse team of professionals including:

  • consultant psychiatrists
  • community psychiatric nurses
  • occupational therapists
  • psychologists
  • support workers
  • admiral nurses (specialist dementia nurses)
  • administrative staff

 

Providing feedback and raising concerns

We encourage feedback on your experience of using MHT and MHT+. If you have concerns about your care, please speak with your care team directly. Alternatively, you can:

  • meet with a local service manager to share your experiences
  • contact Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) to arrange an appointment
  • complete a Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM) to provide feedback

If you have experience of mental health services in Kent and Medway and would like to share your views on what is or isn’t working in the current system, please contact our Lived Experience team who would welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Email livedexperience@ek360.co.uk
