Rehabilitation Programme: The overall aim of the therapeutic programme is to empower service users to take decisions about their future needs, maximise independence and increase participation in community life. All programmes are individualised and are based on activities of daily living and social integration. This may include group work, skills development, goal setting and confidence building. There is access to psychological therapies, horticulture therapy and a masseur. Emphasis is placed upon linking service users into a range of community services including Day Services, Employment Link Team, Voluntary Work, Sports and Leisure Centres, Local Educational Colleges and Voluntary Agencies.
Outreach and Aftercare There is a Rehabilitation Outreach Service that can provide flexible community rehabilitation programmes to service users whose preference is for a home-based programme, or who do not need admission for in-patient rehabilitation. This service also provides discharge follow up, support and resettlement to service users returning to live in the community, and works in partnership with the mental health hostels and voluntary sector housing providers.
