Complex Needs Floating Support
We reach out to our most vulnerable Adults through our floating support services.
At Circle of care, we put you (the Person living with mental health challenges) at the centre of the service we provide. We aim to provide high standards of support services that is focused on your unique circumstances and needs to give you the flexibility, choice and control over how we support you to live an independence life with hope.
Our dedicated Support Staff will work with you and the people close to you including Mental Health Care Managers and other Health Care Professionals who understand your needs. This is to enable you to stabilise your mental state and minimise your risk of relapsing.
We will support you to make maximum use of your community/local resources including resources available from independent and voluntary sectors to plan your recovery.
Your Recovery
We aim to support you to live life full of hope with support from our experienced and dedicated Support team. Our approach will be to support you to look beyond your Mental Health illness and encourage you to engage with the community, pursue your interests and live a meaningful life.
Recovery emphasises that, while you may not have full control over your symptoms, you can have full control over your life. Recovery is not about ‘getting rid’ of your mental health problems, It is about seeing beyond your symptom and recognising and fostering your abilities, interests and dreams. * Source MHPF.
