The Trust's Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams (CRHTs)
provide an alternative to inpatient care by offering intensive
community support. They are committed to working with service users
and carers to find solutions and prevent relapses and all
individuals are treated with respect, dignity and honesty.
The aim of the service is to assertively engage with service
users in crisis while minimizing the degree of disruption to their
lives and offering clear information to promote service user
choice.
How we work
Our CRHTs are available 24 hours a day for 365 days a year,
providing a rapid response and acting as a gatekeeper to Adult
Mental Health inpatient services. They are a designated
point of access for emergency and urgent referrals.
The teams facilitate admission to hospital when assessed and as
required and all care is delivered in accordance with Care
Programme Approach (CPA) guidelines.
Support is offered in the service user's home and community
settings.
There are three CRHT teams providing services to the City of
Manchester.
The teams are locality based covering geographical locations in
the North, Central and South parts of the city.
Each team serves a dedicated number of GP Practices.
Testimonials for our CRHT teams
Here is what some of our service users have told us about the
service:
'At a time in my life where I thought I was useless and
taking up valuable airspace you helped me see and believe I
was better than that and not useless, just lost.'
'You helped me realise I am a worthy person.'
'Because of your support I have become a stronger person and
now I'm doing things for me, to help me.'
