Community Recovery Teams: provide specialist mental health services that include multi-disciplinary assessments to identify needs with each client/carer, community interventions and a range of community-based services formulated in a care plan and delivered through the CPA process. The teams work with clients, carers and other agencies to promote recovery.
Assertive Outreach: A multi-disciplinary team provides intensive input for clients who have a serious mental illness, are on enhanced CPA (Care Programme Approach) and are difficult to engage.
