East London NHS Foundation Trust provides a range of services for children and young people, adults, older people with mental health difficulties, forensic psychiatry and substance misuse.
If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health difficulties, your GP can offer help and advice in the first instance and put you in touch with local services that can help you.
The Trust operates from over 50 community and 4 main inpatient sites (operating from 55 buildings), employs over 2100 staff and has 663 general and specialist inpatient beds. It has a budget of £162.9 million, and projected income for 2007/08 is £180.2 million.
The Trust is closely linked with Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London and the City University for nurse training.
In Newham, psychological services are part of a cutting edge national pilot.
