Notice Title

Crisis House

Notice Description

A Crisis House is a service that offers short-term residential mental health crisis interventions and support for a duration of up to 7 days, for individuals who are experiencing mental health crisis. Analysis of local NHS Mental Health inpatient admissions evidences a cohort of inpatients whose needs could be met in a Crisis House as an alternative to inpatient admission which will offer significant benefits to service users. Crisis Houses can prevent possible hospital admission and ensure only those who are acutely unwell or at very high risk of suicide are admitted to hospital. Crisis Houses are embedded within a number of ICSs, with a number of positive outcomes including high service user satisfaction and decreased reliance upon acute inpatient admission. Underpinning the philosophy of Crisis House provision is social inclusion and linking with the wider VCSE service provision.
