PPN-SE Event for PP Week 2024

Date: Tuesday 12th November 2024

Time: 10:am - 12:00pm

We are excited to announce that Psychological Professions Week will be taking place on 11th - 15th November 2024!

The PPN-SE session will focus on Psychologically Informed Crisis Care and will launch the guidance developed by our PPN SE Crisis Care Leadership Fellows.

Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Teams (CRHTTs) sit in a pivotal place in the urgent care pathway. They act as gatekeepers for acute inpatient beds, facilitate early hospital discharge and provide person centred interventions in a home environment. Many people accessing these services have experienced trauma and are dealing with current distress. It is crucial that CRHTTs are set up to offer compassionate evidence-based care and avoid traumatisation. 

At the beginning of the year the PPN-SE secured funding to look into how these teams could work in a psychologically informed way, and the outcomes which may follow from this. The remit of the work was to produce a paper and set up a community of practice in the South East of England around crisis team work. 

The paper is now complete, and recommends a psychologically informed model which is focussed on these teams, but is also generalisable to other mental health teams. The paper also acts as a toolkit for a variety of mental health professionals who want to think about teams in a psychologically informed way, and how to change cultures. The voice of the service user was key in this work, and aligns with the principles and factors proposed.

You can register for this event here. Registration closes 12 noon Monday 11th November. 

A Psychologically Informed Crisis Care Best Practice Guidance report will be made available following this event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
