How our service can help you
The Living Well with Psychosis team offers recovery based psychiatric rehabilitation for people over 65 years old with long term psychosis.
The team comprises occupational therapists located in Peterborough, Cambridge, Huntington and Fenland. The services works with patients to develop person centred goals to enhance access to meaningful occupations, promote community and peer engagement, improve confidence, skills and motivation and increase hope and quality of life.
A focus group was set up during the development stage of the service to draw on the lived exeprience and opinions of service users, their carers and family members. Detailed below is what they told the service and the improvements they made as a result.

Carers Information
-
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
At Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, we value the often life-long support carers provide and recognise them as equal care partners. We want to offer as much guidance and reassurance as possible, to help you in your caring role. You can find general information and support for adult carers, young carers and parent carers by following this link.
