The Crisis Recovery Unit is a national, specialist service for people of 17 years and above who persistently harm themselves. The Service offers both inpatient and outpatient treatment. The outpatient unit is located at the Maudsley Hospital, South London and the inpatient unit is based at the Bethlem Royal Hospital, Beckenham, Kent.

The service is provided by a multidisciplinary team led by a Consultant Psychiatrist. Members of the team include psychiatrists, specialist nurses, social worker and occupational therapist. Contact the Serivce Administrator for full details of the out- and inpatient services and referral procedures.

The Service aims to help individuals to seek alternatives to self harming, to gain a greater understanding of the meaning that self harm has for them and to tolerate distressing feelings.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
