OUR CARE PATHWAY

Care in Mind is a recovery focused service. Our model of care includes a care pathway that begins with specialist and intensive residential care with wrap around clinical interventions. The service aims to create a stable environment where young people are able to develop secure attachments to their teams and within that context begin to manage their risk and mental health needs more independently, and to learn effective ways to progress with their lives towards independence.

Care in Mind Independence PackageCare in Mind's Care Pathway: Step 5 - CIM Independence Package

As part of our bespoke packages of care, we are able to provide structured packages of tailored support into an independent tenancy, providing continuity of care from the team both residentially and clinically. Support is gradually reduced in line with individual independence goals, with the aim of moving into complete independence from our services in a gradual and formulated way.
