About North Staffs EI Team
Our aims include raising awareness of what Psychosis is and how it can affect people, to challenge stigma and promote social inclusion. In fact the team ethos is that Psychosis is treatable and recovery is expected.
The team consists of a number of professional staff including mental health nurses, support, time and recovery workers, clinical psychologists, a social worker and an occupational therapist.
If you are affected by Psychosis, our goal is to develop a positive relationship and support you and your family and help with those areas of your life which are affected.
Simply get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise you.
EI Teams Nationwide
Early Intervention teams have been set up all across the country as part of the National Service Framework for Mental Health. Their primary aim is to improve the life chances of those affected by Psychosis. There is guidance on how these teams should be implemented and the expected outcomes for those that that receive the service.
Research has indicated that if the experience of Psychosis is identified early the greater the likelihood of a full and sustained recovery. The impact of Psychosis can affect different areas of a person’s life; the way they think and feel and how they behave. This to can change and put pressure on family relationships, so it is something that affects the whole family as well as the individual.
