Improving pathways into Housing for people using Mental Health Services and Drug and Alcohol Support Services Thursday 2oth June 2019 Huntingdonshire District Council Civic Suite
Welcome Sarah Ferguson Assistant Director for Housing, Community and Youth Services (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough) Helen Brown Homeless Prevention Manager for the Homelessness Trailblazer Project Claire Grainger- Services Manager for CGL Peterborough Aspire /Cambridge Street and Mental Health Outreach Team.
Workshop 1 Things to consider; What needs does the study highlight? What needs, or gaps in service, are highlighted? What barriers does our case study encounter? Can you identify the agencies who got involved? Where do you think thresholds are an issue (i.e. you have to reach a certain level of need to get a service)
Line exercise Each group to communicate and put yourselves into a line where you think you are in a person s journey. From prevention of Homelessness to Homelessness to settled accommodation Feedback to main group
Workshop 2 Things to consider (building on the morning s workshop) Did anything in the case study work well? In an ideal world, do you think the needs identified could be met? Does this involve new provision, new services, new approaches, new partners (just examples). What new provision could help plug the gaps in service? How do you think the barriers identified could be overcome? Should other agencies have got involved? Why might they not have been involved (i.e. are they facing barriers or thresholds?) What can we all do to improve partnership working? If thresholds are an issue what might we do to fix that? Would it help simply to be aware of these thresholds? Are the gaps in knowledge which could be fixed?
