Mind in Mid Herts is a local mental health voluntary service. We have received funding from the Joint Commissioning Team to provide a service which will help prepare clients for discharge, allowing a continuation of up to 8 weeks community support thereafter. The emphasis for this support will be focussed on organizing and maintaining social inclusion as well as offering the following: -
Support with practical tasks; helping with shopping; helping to organise and provide transport to and from appointments; establishing social activities; telephone support; individual 1 - 1 time and support given in a social setting; assistance with completing forms; social support groups (Tuesday 12.30 - 2pm and Thursday 10.30am -12); assistance with organising house amenities eg bills, gas , electricity.
It is essential that, where possible, liaison commences during the client's time of residence. Staff may make referrals but individuals can also request the service themselves. Once the referral has been made Mind in Mid Herts staff will require a full risk assessment to enable them to provide the service.
