Who are the Care Partners?

Who are the Care Partners?

Dr Krishma Jethwa, Principal Investigator for Birmingham and Solihull talking about the Care Partners

Care Partners are experienced mental health professionals. They will have a background in mental health nursing, social work, occupational therapy or support work. They will have specialist knowledge of ongoing mental health needs and the range of support that you may be able to access to benefit your health and well-being.

Our Care Partners have received training in delivering the PARTNERS Service. They will listen to you, and get to know what you want and need from your life and those in it. This will help them to understand how to best support you as an equal partner, to help you improve your confidence, health and well-being.

You are equals... You’re both trying to get to the same point, down the same road.
