About our Service

East Brig is a 10 bedded rehabilitation unit for people experiencing complex mental health difficulties.

 

Philosophy

The unit offers specialist care to patients during an acute phase of their illness as well as offering support and encouragement to attain longer term goals towards their recovery.
Length of stay varies, but we always plan this on admission and work towards discharge back into the community.
We endeavor to deliver recovery focused, person centred and strength based care and have a ward programme which supports this. This involves both group and individual work.

 

We work with a range of health professionals in a multi-disciplinary approach which include;
Support Workers
Administration Staff
Domestic Service Staff
Psychiatrists
Nurses
Psychologists
Occupational Therapists
Physiotherapist
Social Workers
