Mental Health Day Support Services

What are day support services?

These services help people with serious mental health difficulties, aged 18-65 to maintain and develop independence. The services take place in a number of different places including day centres, people's homes and local community venues.

What sort of help can I get?

We can help you with:

• developing social skills and contacts
• building confidence
• skills for managing mental health difficulties
• how to access education, employment and training
• how to use local facilities
• getting advice and information.

Where are they based?

Day support services are based from four centres across the County:

• Beeston Day Centre, Nottingham area
• Boundary Resource Centre, Worksop area
• Rokerfield Resource centre, Mansfield area
• Newark.

Whenever possible we would encourage you to make your own way. However should you need transport we will arrange it in our own vehicles.

Is there a charge for day and community support services?

There is a charge for transport (currently £2.00 a day). We will carry out an assessment to see whether you need this service.

Snacks and lunches can be purchased in the centres.

How do I get day and community support services?

Referrals are taken by each centre from mental health professionals, usually CPA Care Co-ordinators. If you would like further information, please call the centre in your area.
