MAKE US PART OF YOUR CARE PLAN!
Sometimes it can make things easier to know that there is ongoing regular support. We can ring you ‘out of hours’ over the weekend at a time that best suits you, to provide support as part of your care plan.
The ‘Ring Out’ provides you with an opportunity to talk about any mental health concerns and how they affect you.
The ‘Ring Out’ service is available by a professional referral (GP, CPN, Psychiatrist, Social Worker etc.)
OVER 100,000 PEOPLE IN STAFFORDSHIRE ARE CARERS
If you are reading this web page, then you might be a carer who provides practical and emotional support to someone with mental health needs. If they access mental health services in Staffordshire, we may be able to help ease the pressure of your caring responsibilities.
Having support is about making time for you. The ‘Carer’s Ring Out’ service is available by a professional referral (Carer’s Assessment Worker, Social Worker, health care professional etc.)
‘Ring Outs’ and ‘Carers Ring Outs'
Are available on Fridays from 7.00pm till 12.00am, and Saturday to Sunday from 2.00pm till 12.00am.
