A specialist service that may be offered in the place where you live if you have severe mental health needs that affect your ability to manage your daily life. The team is made up of highly experienced staff, who can help you cope with all aspects of daily living, such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, taking medicine, finding education or employment, or finding somewhere to live. You are likely to be referred to an AOT by your community mental health team rather than your GP.
