| Assertive-outreach services support people in the community who find it hard to use more traditional mental health services. These services work more ‘assertively’ than normal community-support services, meeting people ‘on their own patch’, at times that are convenient to the clients, and investing a lot of time in building relationships with them.
Currently Together runs just one of these services, the ReachOut service in Basingstoke, which helps homeless people with mental health problems find housing. |
