Both IRHs provide treatment and care for those with more complex and enduring needs, alongside a Merton Primary Care Liaison Service which operates as a clearly defined single point of access for all community referrals and a Merton Home Treatment Team. In addition, there are separate community teams for Early Intervention in Psychosis (Sutton and Merton EIS) and a Complex Needs Service for people with Personality Disorder (Sutton and Merton CNS). There is also a Trust run Merton Talking Therapies service comprising of IAPT and wellbeing services for patients with mild/moderate mental health difficulties.

The Trust has an excellent reputation for developing innovative clinical services including the Recovery College and SUN Project.
