At Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust we put the service user first and our aim is to provide each individual with a choice of treatments that are accessible to them.
The Trust provides mental health, substance misuse and learning disability services across Norfolk and Suffolk.
We believe in whole life and understand the importance of good physical health, maintaining relationships and achieving a balance between treatment and continuing an active life.
Dedicated specialist teams work closely with service users, their carers and families and other organisations to put together a plan of care suited to each individual.
The Trust has inpatient facilities across both counties with smaller bases in rural locations. Many of our services are offered in the community, enabling service users to receive the support they need in an environment familiar to them.

We provide mental health, community health, and social care services for people of all ages across the Bradford, Airedale and Craven districts.
We also provide specialist support for people with learning disabilities. Our vision is to become one of the country’s leading integrated health and social care providers.
Art can play a positive role in the recovery of people with mental health problems; and our art workshops are just one of the ways we encourage people to express themselves. Some of the talented people who use our services have showcased their works at a number of exhibitions across the Bradford district.
As a Trust, we have a vibrant art network that encourages mutual support for those wishing to develop in this activity.
Our ‘Step Forward Centre’ is another example of how we keep improving to meet the needs of local people.
The half a million pound specialist treatment centre for adults with mental health problems is the first facility of its kind in our region.
The Centre’s 12 en-suite rooms for male and female patients, purpose built kitchen and laundry room mean people can now work with our expert staff in a purpose built environment on everyday skills, such as cooking and budgeting, before they return to life in the community.
