Adult Mental Health

In 2017-18, NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG spent more than £16 million on mental health services in our area – almost 10 per cent of our total budget.

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) is our main provider. A list of services provided by TEWV can be found on its website.

One in four of us will experience difficulties in our mental health at some point in our lives. Significant events, or a build-up of stresses, such as work place problems, a change in life circumstances, a traumatic event or a specific phobia could lead to difficulties managing our mental wellbeing. Problems with low mood, depression and anxiety can develop and make it difficult for us to cope with life’s daily demands.

If you are suffering with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, worry or phobias, you can now refer yourself for IAPT talking therapies at www.northyorkshireiapt.co.uk
