The Community Mental Health Service (CMHS) at St Mary's Hospital, proudly operated by the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, provides expert community-based mental health support specifically designed for adults in Leeds. Typically, individuals accessing our services fall within the 18 to 65 age bracket, though we understand that mental health needs are diverse, and this age range can be flexible based on individual circumstances and the specific support required. Our core mission at St Mary's Hospital is to deliver comprehensive, person-centred care to those experiencing significant mental health challenges within the community, under the dedicated provision of the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Gaining access to the specialist care offered by the Community Mental Health Service at St Mary's Hospital is a streamlined process. All initial requests for our services, whether they are for a thorough mental health assessment or for ongoing care coordination, must be directed through our Single Point of Access. This centralised entry point, managed by the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, ensures that all referrals are handled efficiently and that individuals are directed to the most appropriate support pathway. The Single Point of Access acts as the gateway to our service at St Mary's Hospital, ensuring a consistent and equitable approach to accessing care.
The Community Mental Health Service at St Mary's Hospital, a vital part of the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, primarily offers support through in-person interventions.

Our dedicated team of mental health professionals, based at St Mary's Hospital, works closely with individuals to understand their unique needs and provide interventions that promote recovery and well-being within their own communities. As an integral part of the National Health Service (NHS), the Community Mental Health Service at St Mary's Hospital is committed to providing high-quality, accessible mental healthcare.
