If you are looking for support for a child or young person, please visit our dedicated Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services pages.

From Thursday 13 March 2025, the Neuropsychiatry Service, based at the Cedars, will not be accepting new referrals for the next 12 weeks.

As a result of significant rising pressures, the team are pausing to ensure that our service users and their families receive safe, high-quality care.

Referrers and service users will receive communication from the team that informs them of the 12-week pause. The team will provide advice on what to do if you believe the circumstance is urgent.
