About the Service

The Stewarts is a new residential rehabilitation and recovery support for up to 14 people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties.

The service supports adults aged 18 and over who require a structured, therapeutic environment to progress on their recovery journey. We recognise that people's experiences are unique, and many individuals accessing the service may have additional support needs, including co-existing substance use or mild learning disabilities. Each referral is assessed individually to ensure that we can provide the most appropriate and effective support.

The Stewarts is a purpose-built service that promotes independence and skill development, offering individual rooms alongside welcoming communal living spaces, dining areas, and kitchens where residents can develop and maintain daily living skills.

• Contribute to risk management, safeguarding, and positive risk-taking approaches that promote independence while maintaining safety.
