How to attend the centre
People with mental health problems are referred to the centre by a mental health worker such as a community nurse or social worker. A mental health worker will meet with you to talk about your situation and assess your needs. If the Centre can provide services to help we will work with you to plan the services. We will then regularly review how effective the service is.
Access for disabled people
We have disabled access to the Drop In and Brambles. Access to structured day services may be available at Beechwood at the Boscombe Centre which is also run by Bournemouth Social Services for people recovering from mental health problems.
