Community mental health care and support in Leeds is changing.

Some of these changes have already happened. Others are planned during 2024 – 2025.

These changes will improve the way all health and social care systems work together to provide joined up community mental health services and support for people living in the city.

Leeds already has many services provided by lots of different health, social and voluntary sector organisations supporting people who are living mental and emotional health difficulties.

We are bringing all these services closer together to ensure we:

  • Provide joined up primary and community mental health care that responds to your needs.
  • Understand what has happened to you and what you need to help you to move forward.
  • Remove barriers that may stop you from getting the care and support you need.
  • Provide you with the care and support you need as early as possible so you can live as well as possible in your community.
