Springs Service – Mental Health and Autism service for men

Gender: Male

Age: 18+

Beds: 21

Springs Service (Springs Centre and Springs Wing) at Cygnet Hospital Harrow is a service for men with mental health needs and a diagnosis of autism.

Our person-centred, positive behavioural support focus seeks to reduce behaviours that challenge and treat mental health symptoms. We develop independent living skills and social integration. The aim of the service is to support individuals by giving them the tools that they need to be discharged into the community.

Our service at a glance:

The Springs Service is formed of two wards, Springs Centre and Springs Wing. We provide a care pathway to support individuals to move on to supported living, a community placement, or return to their home. We have distinct living areas to allow each person to receive the level of support they need to prepare for the next step along their journey.

Our team are highly experienced, with all staff members trained in understanding autism, mental health conditions, and in creating a supportive environment for everyone.

The Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) work together with individuals to provide a holistic, person-centred, comprehensive assessment and care plan. The MDT ensures everyone’s needs are met in a way that helps achieve stability and discharge to the least restrictive setting.

The service is located on Harrow on the Hill in six acres of private land with nearby parks, shops, leisure centres and excellent road and rail links.
