Hull - Homeless Mental Health Team

The team works with those who are sleeping rough who are experiencing poor mental health. They further provide expertise to the homeless sector (statutory, voluntary sector and NHS organisations) in order that they may effectively support those experiencing homelessness and poor mental health from learning and support around their practice to development of psychologically informed environments and the reflective practice which is vital to maintaining our own emotional wellbeing and resilience.
