About the Service

The Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) provides short-term mental health support at home, to avoid people being admitted to hospital. We work across Sheffield and provide intensive support to our service users and their carers, where there has been a significant deterioration in a person's mental health.

The CRHTT is based at The Longley Centre, together with the Liaison Psychiatry service, the Trust's Single Point of Access (SPA) service, and some of our inpatient wards, supporting duty and crisis assessment, as well as promoting timely discharge back into the community.
