two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The council is seeking to provide a 12 bed crisis house service for adults over the age of 18 who perceive themselves to be in, or at risk of moving into, mental health crisis.
The service ensures safety and supports recovery by offering:
• timely skilled assessment, treatment, psychosocial interventions, peer and practical support to address health and social care needs for those in crisis, or at risk of moving into, crisis
• structured support planning and crisis planning that promotes access to mental health and universal services that support resilience building, self-management on discharge, maintenance of wellbeing and prevent future crisis
• identification and support for carers
The service allows early and quick access and management during the early crisis or relapse phase. This service acts as alternative care pathway to hospital for those in the early stages of a crisis, and it also provides a more flexible response, in the least restrictive setting, for those who can be managed in a community setting. The service reduces demand on acute mental health admissions in Islington, freeing up hospital treatment for others who have more significant mental health needs.
This Crisis House is part of the mental health crisis prevention pathway in Islington, which provides a vital role in providing urgent mental health support to prevent a mental health crisis developing or preventing escalation of mental health problems in order to avoid distressing A&E presentations and/or an inpatient admission, and the maintenance of a person’s wellbeing to prevent future crisis.
