Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team - Barnet
-
Barnet Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) offers short term intensive home treatment for people in mental health crisis who may otherwise need to be admitted to hospital. We can do this by supporting people in their own home or other suitable accommodation when it is safe and appropriate to do so. Our team consists of psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists and support workers.
Our vision is to support healthy lives and healthy communities through the provision of excellent integrated mental and community healthcare. We will treat you with care, compassion, respect and will always seek to work together with you and your family as well as friends to support your recovery.
