Critical Time Interventions
The Critical Time Intervention model was developed to support vulnerable people through times of transition. This is especially true of those with entrenched homelessness or those who have experienced recent hospitalisation for mental health difficulties or those leaving prison. The Critical Time Intervention course demonstrates effective assessment, case management and goal setting in the initial action “transfer” planning stage. The course then builds on this by combining strengths mapping and effective referral processes to engage the client in a supportive network. This course then examines how well this network is able to support a client independently. It will then explore key skills necessary to “terminate” support as the client is supported towards autonomous, independent living.
Who is This Course For?
This course will be very helpful to any professionals who work with client with mental health needs and wider complexity such as homelessness that are undergoing transitions in accommodation. This includes those working with people leaving entrenched homelessness, hospital stays, residential treatment or prison.
