North Glasgow CHCP Primary and Community Care Mental Health Services:
- Primary Care Mental Health services are for people experiencing mild to moderate mental health problems.

Irrespective of what part of mental health services you are referred to the service will direct the most appropriate response to you.
Community Care Mental Health Services
The service is a multi-agency consisting of health and social care. The incorporating service provides treatment, information, advice and support for service care users and carers.

The service accepts referrals from GPs and other health or social care professionals. If you have been referred by someone other than your GP, we will normally contact your GP to inform them of the referral and will normally share information regarding your care and treatment with your GP.
Mental Health Services for older people
Community Older People’s Team services are for people aged 65 and above who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
Further Information on services provided to people affected by mental health is also available on the Glasgow City Council website.
Esteem
This service is for young people between the ages of 16-35 who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
Esteem aims to make access easier, avoid hospital admission whenever possible, support the young person and their family in the community and provide education in the recognition of psychosis to all professionals who have contact with young people.
We have an open referral system and also see young people and their families in their own homes or in other non stigmatising community settings whenever possible.
We hope to be as inclusive as possible and welcome referrals of people 16 - 35 with first time psychosis (including drug induced psychosis).
If you are worried about any young person you feel maybe experiencing psychosis, or if you wish to know more about the service, please get in touch with Esteem:

The Primary Care Mental Health Teams in North Glasgow are made up of Psychologists, Counsellors and GPs.
Access to these services can be arranged through your GP or any other health, social or voluntary sector staff whom you are in contact with or by contacting the team directly.
Primary Care Mental Health Services are for anyone aged 16 and above experiencing common mental health problems. These will commonly be less severe (or 'mild to moderate') mental illnesses.
The Primary Care Mental Health Team offers services to people who may benefit from brief interventions for common mental health problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders. This approach means that it will be the less severe presentations of these problems that will be appropriate for the team.
Information on services provided to people affected by mental health is also available on the Glasgow City Council website.
