Our Aims
We aim to provide a high-quality, multi-disciplinary mental health service for young people with emotional and mental health problems.
Simmons House gives priority to the needs of young people and, wherever possible, works in partnership with parents and/or carers.
The Parent Support Service is offered to all parents either at the point of admission or in the first month of inpatient assessment. Simmons House acknowledges that the admission of a child to a psychiatric inpatient facility can be challenging and difficult for the parents as well. The Service is flexible and needs led and offers a helpline, support calls, home visits and appointments at Simmons House.
We work in close collaboration with other child agencies to ensure the provision of the most effective service in the best interests of the adolescent.
We aim to provide a service which respects the gender, race, sexual orientation, and culture of all adolescents and families referred to the service. We try to ensure that these issues are actively considered in offering appropriate advice and treatment.
The overall service that Simmons House offers is based upon evidence-based practice and the experience of the team.
