Tenison
Road Centre
The Tenison Road Centre is part of the Adult Day Services in the
Cambridge City locality of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mental
Health Trust. They are based in a large Victorian end of terrace house
close to the city centre off Mill Road and near the Train Station.
They provide day services to adults from 18 years onwards.
Their Purpose
Using the Whole Life approach, they aim to help people overcome the
effects of social exclusion. Each service user will develop their
own plan with their key worker at the Centre. This plan will have
goals and aims which the service user has identified will help them
achieve greater wellbeing and independence in their life.
