Staffordshire

A mental health care service for children and adolescents alike.

Located in Staffordshire, we specialise in supporting young people with severe or complex mental health conditions who need intensive inpatient treatment. We are dedicated to providing caring, supportive, recovery-focused treatment and we achieve this by working together with our young people, their families and other professionals.

Our model of care is clinically led and has been put together by our doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists, social worker and other experts in this field. It also builds upon the feedback we have received from young people and their families about what matters to them.

We draw on a wide range of evidence to help inform how we treat and support every young person we care for. A genuine person-centred approach sits at the heart of our model because no two individuals share exactly the same needs, hopes and challenges.

We have our own Ofsted-registered school on site so our young people can continue with their studies while receiving treatment, provided they are well enough to attend.

There are three separate units on our Stafford site spread across two buildings: Wedgwood: Eating Disorders Service, Hartley: Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit and Thorneycroft: General Adolescent Service. Each unit has its own dedicated consultant-led multi-disciplinary team who are experts in looking after and treating young people with severe, enduring and complex mental health conditions.

Conditions we support, but are not limited to:

anorexia nervosa
anxiety disorder
bipolar disorder
borderline personality disorder
depression
mood disorders

obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
psychosis
schizoaffective disorder
undiagnosed emerging personality disorder (UEPD)
