Support for People Moving On From High-Dependency Mental Health Services Where do people with mental health problems get help when they move on from 24-hour support? Sometimes, people with enduring mental health problems who are ready to take a step towards independence need significant help to stay on the road to recovery. If people move too quickly from 24-hour support to independent living, they are more likely to have setbacks, including relapse and readmittance. Most people with mental health problems leaving 24-hour support need a gradual entry back to independent living. Medium mental health support in the community Targeted help for people on a pathway from 24-hour support Onsite support 9am- 9pm, on call throughout the night Supported accommodation High quality housing Women only services The quality of care delivered has been excellent, the economic argument is a powerful one comparing the cost of placement in secure hospitals with the scheme provided at the TILT project. John Enser, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust How we do it Each client takes ownership of a support plan A dedicated support worker works with the client The relationship between Bridge team members and the clients is fundamental to the success of the program Clients live in accommodation that promotes independence Clients learn or relearn daily living skills that are crucial for them achieving independence Partnership working with clinicians and care coordinators Ensuring clients have the best possible assistance they need for their path to recovery What makes us different? We create a support plan for each client that meets their needs. The Trial Leave Period enables us to assess the suitability of the client for the project. Clients learn real-life skills that give them a better chance of living independently. Staged integration protects both the client and the community. The impact on the client and the community Typically, it takes less than 2 years for a client to move from medium to a lower level of support Over 30% of clients move on to lower levels of support every year In 2 years, 50% of clients move on to independent living Cost per annum is 10k a year which is 5x less than accommodating a person in 24-hr support How you can work with us As well as the normal tendering process, you can commission our forensic services in the following ways: Use our contact form Pick up the phone to speak to us on 020 8298 9677 Email us to discuss spot contracting OR delivery of a bespoke service that meets your needs Click here for our FAQs: What commissioners ask us.
