Community Mental Health Rehabilitation and Enablement Plus Service
How can support workers help people recover from complex mental health problems and restore the skills and confidence to live successfully in the community?
Support workers inspire hope for recovery by building meaningful relationships with
people, in a non-judgmental space while offering practical intervention to support sustainable
recovery.
The CMHRE Plus Service integrates local voluntary support with the existing CMHRE Service. The clinical team offers specialist assessment, treatment, interventions and support to help
people recover from complex mental health problems and restore the skills and confidence to live successfully in the community.
This integrated model of care will provide:
- More support for people to build meaningful and lasting relationships in the community.
- A greater continuity of support as people transition from hospital to home.
- A focus on supporting people in their physical health and social care needs, as well as
clinical needs. - Increased choice and personalisation of care.
- More choice of activities which foster hope and purpose.
- To support individuals to move towards more independent living where possible support.
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.
