Head of operations Kerrie Barker said: "During the Covid-19 pandemic we received many calls from people living with Personality Disorders.

"We have been listening to people in our communities, so now we’re launching this new service.

"It’s a significant investment for Mid and North East Essex Mind and we know we can support people better by offering them practical support when living with a personality disorder."

The service is a short-term, practical intervention for people living with personality disorders in the Braintree, Chelmsford and Maldon districts.
