Locally, in North Central London this service is hosted in partnership by Barnet Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust and Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust.
This hub, based at St Ann's Hospital will provide a 24 / 7, all-age service for people who need advice and support with a mental health need.
