SERVICE OVERVIEW
We've supported people with mental health needs for nearly 20 years and currently have more than 1000 service users who can access a broad range of services at any point in their journey to recovery.
Fanon's original focus was on BME services and while this remains a core area of expertise with Fanon delivering a number of culturally specific services, Fanon now encompasses all members of our communities in need of mental wellbeing support. Recovery Star is a significant component to our person centred mental health support activity.
Our portfolio of mental health services include registered care services, 24 hour supported living services, specialist gender specific accommodation for men and women from BME communities, resource centres for people from BME communities, community outreach, resettlement and tenancy sustainment services, plus training and employment initiatives. We recently added IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) to our portfolio of services.
