| Aim of service: | |
| This service will help service
users to increase and improve their experiences of life away from
specialist mental health services, particularly (for example)
to help them improve their education, to engage in leisure activities,
or to make contact with any other activities associated with their
faith, family or neighbourhood, which will help with their recovery. |

| What will be offered: | |
| The service’s staff will help service users through person centred planning techniques. Service users may expect to be signposted, introduced, escorted or accompanied to any service, activity or experience that will help them to reduce their dependence on, and use of, mental health services, as appropriate to their needs. All work with staff will be within the framework of the Care Programme Approach (CPA), and within a care plan developed by their care co-ordinator. Service users may expect to receive intensive support from staff for up to two years. | |
