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:

• Access further community help, like support groups or wellbeing activities
• Address debt issues, attend benefits tribunals and write letters
• Maintain independent living arrangements
• Find social activities or reconnect with friends or family

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.
