Two new hospitals for Derbyshire's mentally ill

Two new hospitals have opened in North Derbyshire to help people suffering from mental health issues.

Blackshale and Silkstone House opened their doors in Mastin Moor, providing a rehabilitation and recovery service for men and women with mental health problems.

They can house up to 28 people in self-contained apartments.

The Houses are owned and run by Turning Point, a social business with over 45 years experience of supporting people with mental health needs.

Jane Diver, Turning Point's Operations Manager at the new service said: "Blackshale and Silkstone House services will provide much needed community rehabilitation for people in need, the buildings are a stunning addition to the local area, the staff team are enthusiastic, highly trained and fully committed to helping the men and women achieve their recovery goals - at turning Point we turn lives around, it's something we see every day".
