Chase Lodge Hospital recognises the need for psychotherapy in acute and critical care. Our local mental health services work to provide immediate support to individuals or elders undergoing resolution to such mental health crises within the broader context of their physical well-being. Integrating physical healthcare with mental healthcare leads to a comprehensive approach to the crisis response of patients, enabling them to heal holistically, in both body and soul.
Mental health is considered an integral part of a patient’s recovery and general well-being, particularly in acute and critical care settings where they may be grappling with severe illnesses, trauma, or life-threatening conditions. Without mental health support, patients may struggle with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, or cognitive dysfunction, leading to profound repercussions on their physical healing process.
From the perspective we share at Chase Lodge Hospital, mental health and physical health are deeply connected. We ensure that all patients receive psychological support promptly to help alleviate the stressors and challenges that inevitably arise with their medical condition(s). This connection results in healthier outcomes, reduced hospital stays, and an overall improvement in quality of life.
Chase Lodge Hospital offers a wide range of mental health acute services designed to meet the acute and critical care needs of its local community. Our teams, consisting of seasoned psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and mental health clinicians, draw on their expertise and dedication to provide a standard of mental health crises care that many would call first-class. Our services include the following:
Our team offers personalised mental health services for individuals facing conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. We ensure that every patient receives a compassionate and effective approach to their acute and non acute care.
Individual, group, and family therapy sessions are available to support those affected by mental health conditions. Our specialists use evidence-based methods to help clients develop coping strategies. Crisis intervention assists in managing existential crises related to mental health.
For individuals experiencing severe mental health crises, our crisis intervention services provide immediate support. Our specialists work swiftly to stabilise patients, reduce distress, and develop a clear mental health treatment plan for ongoing care.
Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and chronic pain can significantly affect a patient’s mental health. We aim, therefore, to create integrated patient care plans that address both the physical and psychological aspects of chronic conditions, offering comprehensive support and care.
At Chase Lodge Hospital, we foster a comprehensive culture where mental health intersects with mental health acute care. This approach, during emotionally sensitive or psychologically revealing moments for the patient, ensures the treatment of physical health conditions alongside mental health needs.
