Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust was formed in
April 2002 as one of only five mental health and social care
NHS organisations in the country.
We offer a wide spectrum of mental health, social care and
wellbeing services to meet the needs of adults of working age
and older adults in Manchester. The Trust provides inpatient care
from sites at North Manchester General Hospital and Wythenshawe
Hospital.
We also provide care for those service users still living at
home, through our 10 Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) based
throughout the city which provide assessment, care and support for
adults of
working age and older adults with mental health
problems.

Anti Stigma Campaign
Everyone in the Trust is working hard to tackle the stigma that
can sometimes surround mental illness, and as part of this campaign
we created the video here as part of our drive to become a
Foundation Trust. The messages aim to debunk some of the myths that
can surround mental illness.
