Mind in Mid Herts and Hertfordshire Mind Network are working in partnership to provide support to Lister and Watford General Hospital A and E staff to improve crisis care pathways for adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis.
Our A and E Link Workers help adults access alternative mental health crisis support, including our Nightlight Crisis Service. We focus on providing a calmer, quieter environment away from the hospital when it’s needed.
The A and E Link Workers are here to support anyone aged 18+ who is experiencing a mental health crisis.
We offer a range of support to meet your needs, including:
Our workers are based at both Lister and Watford General Hospital A and E Departments.
We support any Hertfordshire resident aged 18+.
Our Nightlight Crisis Cafés and Crisis House provide a safe haven for those in crisis. Whether you need some ‘time out’ or someone to talk to, we’re here to listen without judgement.
The A and E Link Workers are part of the Nightlight Service. They help adults transition from the hospital to a calmer, quieter environment.
At the Nightlight Cafés, we offer:
All referrals to the A and E Link Workers need to come via A and E staff, MHLT and other hospital staff.
The most effective way for clients to directly access our crisis services is through the Nightlight Crisis Service
