Haringey Mental Health Service is provided through partnership between Haringey Council, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust (BEHMHT). Many services are provided by the Mental Health Trust and include community mental health services (via our joint community mental health teams), as well as acute hospital inpatient services. The Mental Health Trust delivers its services through ‘Service Lines’, these are listed below:
