Mental Health Intensive Support Service

Our Mental Health Intensive Support Service delivers dedicated and holistic support to individuals and couples with multiple and complex needs.

Our Mental Health Intensive service is based on the fact that no two service-users are the same. Each set of needs are different and our service can be as flexible and intensive as the circumstances require. We take a holistic approach, looking at the whole individual and considering the wider circumstances.

What does our service involve?

Working with Browns, our clients benefit from a person-centered approach which helps support in the following areas:

  • Lifestyle
  • Looking after yourself
  • Managing symptoms
  • Work and employment
  • Volunteering and other activities
  • Managing finances
  • Living arrangements
  • Relationships with friends and family
  • Feeling positive

How do we deliver our Intensive Support Service?

  • Our team provides one-to-one support to people aged 18+.
  • Support can be offered to men or women as individuals or to couples.
  • We provide a dedicated community support worker, offering our service users a dedicated and consistent point of contact.
  • We keep our case numbers low to ensure high quality and personalised provision for the service users who need it most.
  • We’re able to react quickly and appropriately with the ability to liaise with a wide range of external professionals and agencies.
  • We offer out-of-hours support when needed – by providing service users flexible access it can reduce reliance on other finite support services and can prevent emergency ambulance or police attendance.

What are the outcomes of using our service?

  • By offering a user-led and intensive service we strive to reduce reliance on and over-use of other services (ones that often lack the right resources or in-depth knowledge to help in the ways truly required).
  • We help empower and build self-awareness amongst service users, helping them to take more of an active role in planning their futures and prevent reoccurring issues.
  • By ensuring the service-user is able to get their voice heard we improve their long-term prospects.
  • Our goal is always to work towards self-management and self-advocacy so that the service user can look to get their own needs met long-term, well after our service provision has ended.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the invaluable support I’ve received from Browns, a truly phenomenal service.” – Browns service user
