Description

In March 2020, NHS England announced new funding to be made available to local areas to strengthen mental health crisis teams and to provide new alternative forms of provision such as crisis cafes and safe havens. Through the CCG engagement work residents of Sheffield have told us they want an alternative to traditional clinical places to attend in non life threatening crisis situations.
