Our services for people with mental health problems aim to help people deal with short- and long-term mental-health problems.  We make sure that service-users views and wishes are listened to, and that everyone is dealt with individually.

Services for people with mental health problems include:
community rehabilitation services

services for offenders with mental-health problems.

Once you have been assessed as needing a community care service, you can choose to buy your own services through the Direct Payments scheme or we can purchase them for you.
You can find out more about how we plan and deliver services for people with mental-health problems in the East Lothian Community Care Plan – 2001 to 2004 and the Best Value Review.
