This service supports people living with complex mental health problems to achieve their goals and gain the skills and confidence to live as independently as possible. Missing Link works in a partnership led by Second Step and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) and our staff provide a range of interventions to help women manage their mental health problems and live as independently as possible.

The service accepts referrals for people who are registered with a Bristol GP, have severe and enduring mental health problems and have previously received substantial intervention from secondary mental health services without resulting in a level of recovery that they would have wanted. Most of the people we work with have had repeated hospital admissions or have difficulties with self-care, independent living or confidence.

Most of our referrals come from either recovery teams, early intervention services, or in-patient services where there is a current care coordinator allocated. We ask that if a referral is being made that agreement is sought from the client and the care coordinator.
