Camden Core Teams are a partnership between Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust, MIND in Camden, Likewise and Hillside Clubhouse. The teams comprise NHS, social care and voluntary sector experts from a variety of backgrounds and training.

There are three Core Teams across the borough of Camden: North-West, Kentish Town and South.

The Core Teams work closely with GPs, specialist services (including secondary care mental health services),  housing and social services.

The focus is on relationship-building, shared responsibility and collaborative working with individuals, their networks and the systems around them, supporting people to find purpose in their lives, expand structured meaningful activities and engage with community-based groups and offers.

Core Teams work may include:

  • mental health assessment and advice
  • pharmacological treatment
  • brief psychological therapies
  • social care and inclusion
  • peer coaching
  • psycho-social support including from Voluntary Sector providers
  • holistic health and wellbeing support.

Using a trauma-informed approach, a holistic personal care and support plan is co-produced with individuals. A named staff member is a point of contact. This is a short-term service, should long-term support be required then the team can refer or suggest alternative services.
