Medway Council's social workers work within integrated mental health teams, with consultant psychiatrists, community mental health nurses and other health professionals. They are part of the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (www.kmpt.nhs.uk/Home).
In Medway these integrated mental health teams are primarily based in three sites in Gillingham,
There are also other day services provided by the trust:
- Day resources
Three drop-in centres aim to offer an informal and relaxed atmosphere for people with a mental health problem. Activities such as computing, gardening and craftwork are available, as well as hot meals and drinks. - Therapeutic workshops
The Chaucer Centre in - Community support scheme
This scheme supports people with a long-term mental health problem to live with maximum possible independence within their own homes. The aim is to prevent people from needing residential care or admission to an acute hospital bed. - Respite care service
This service offers people respite care within their own home while regular carers have a holiday, go into hospital or take some kind of break from caring. This allows a minimum of disruption for the people they care for.

I think its pretty fair to say that Lee has obviously taken the advice given on this site by his friends.
How can we tell, well it has been noticed that when Lee is dutifully taking his medication he does not post on his blog, and checking only today we find that there has been no post since 26th May....which for Lee is a record, finally all the good wishes from his adoring public have made him realise that he must take his medication.
Sadly this will of course mean that he disappears from the blogsphere, but still health is everything.
