Who you might see / our staff

Our multi-disciplinary team includes psychologists and psychotherapists, community psychiatric nurses, peer trainers and recovery and support workers. Patients under CDAS can also see a psychiatrist for a medication review if appropriate.

What you can expect

At assessment you will have the opportunity to discuss your difficulties with a clinician and consider how CDAS might support you in your recovery. A care plan will be agreed including what treatment or intervention is being offered. We provide a variety of psychological treatments which are delivered individually and in groups. Following the planned intervention, you may review your treatment with a clinician including consideration of how any ongoing issues may be met either within services or in the community.
