Specialist Advisory (and Support) Services. \nThe service delivers a high level of specialist expertise in relation to debt, welfare benefits, housing, and employment (in conjunction with IPS) advice to patients with significant mental ill health and is an essential part of the supportive infrastructure, maintaining people's independence and wellbeing, making this an essential service on the recovery pathway across Frimley. \nThis service has been commissioned as a model that supports access to an advisory service for all people with a significant mental health problem in the least restrictive, de-stigmatising way, whilst supporting the implementation of a 'recovery' focused approach at all times. \nThe aims and objectives of the service which have been met to date include: \n•\tEvidence of alleviation of distress caused by concerns associated with debt, benefits, housing and employment issues through the user satisfaction surveys and any outcome management tools. \n•\tAccess to support and advice in a timely manner to directly address socially determined triggers for a mental health crisis. \n•\tTo improve the quality of life for adults with a mental health illness through access to a specialist service tailored to the client group, providing free, independent, confidential, and impartial advice for people who due to their illness are inhibited from using general advisory services at that point in time. \n•\tSupport, educate and raise awareness to ensure people with mental health problems are appropriately supported within general advisory services. \n•\tSupport clients to obtain additional and appropriate benefits to assist independence, support quality of life and recovery. \n•\tManage and reduce the debt burden of clients with a

health needs meaning they are unable to access or gain maximum benefit from a mainstream CAB offer or equivalent. \nThere is clear evidence of the stigma, discrimination, and difficulties people with mental health problems face in the work environment, the benefit system and dealing with housing and money services. These are just some of the areas in which people experience exclusion. Working, welfare and personal finance are key to maintaining a regular income. When something goes wrong, security and the daily routine is lost. So many of the issues that this service supports individuals with often are the trigger for a mental health crisis. The Community Mental Health Framework (NHS 2019) identifies the impact of social factors in creating health inequality and contributing to significant mental health need for individuals and recommends a joint approach between NHS and CVSE to provide support and intervention in a holistic way. \nThe service delivers a specialist advisory service to clients with significant mental health problems in the community who are unable to access, or be successfully supported by more generic community services, namely Citizens Advice (CA). If people can be supported by mainstream CA services, this will be the first point of contact and support. \nPredominantly, people accessing this service will be under the care of \n•\tSecondary care mental health services (e.g., CMHT, Crisis resolution / home treatment, IMPACTT) \n•\tMental Health Integrated Community Services (MHICS) \n•\tServices for Personality difficulties, eating disorder, rehabilitation, IPS (individual placement support) and other services operating under the CMH Transformation model. \n•\tMH Practitioners operating under the ARRS (Additional Roles Reimbursement scheme) in Primary Care Networks \n•\tThe service will also support people who have been admitted to a mental health in patient unit across Frimley if appropriate. \nThe service delivers a high level
