Goal-focussed, personalised support for those starting their recovery journey in Portsmouth.
Recovering from a period of poor mental health can feel overwhelming as there may be obstacles to navigate and new anxieties before gaining back your independence.
Our Community Peer Recovery Team (or CPRT for short) can offer you the help that you need to set manageable goals, access the support you need and start getting back on your feet.
Our support is special because our staff have their own lived experience of living with a mental health issue. As well as practical advice, we can share our own stories, experiences, provide hope and become a role model in your time of need.
Our short term, goal focussed support could help you:
We also provide Support, Time and Recovery (STR) workers, who can support you using learned rather than lived experience.
The service is delivered in partnership with Solent NHS Trust and commissioned by NHS Portsmouth CCG.
You will need to be aged 18 or over, live within a Portsmouth (PO) postcode and currently receive treatment from the Solent NHS Trust Community Mental Health Team. They will make a referral on your behalf.
