Peer support workers help people in Colchester and Tendring stay connected to mental health care services and avoid crises.
Our Peer Support Service is commissioned by Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) as part of the NHS mental health services in North East Essex. Referrals can only be made by a member of the Primary Care Mental Health Team, so it isn’t possible to self-refer at this time. If you think our Peer Support Workers could help you, please speak to your Primary Care Mental Health Team member of staff for more information.
