Service Description: Mental Health Trusts provide health and social care services for people with mental health problems. Mental Health services can be provided through your GP, other primary care services, or through more specialist care. This might include counselling and other psychological therapies, community and family support, or general health screening. For example, people suffering bereavement, depression, stress or anxiety can get help from primary care or informal community support. If they need more involved support they can be referred for specialist care.
