Question

How can we make the functioning of mobile teams better known in our region?

Problem description

In our daily practice, we regularly see that (potential) clients are not aware of services being available for them,  and how to get appropriate care.    This also applies to the mobile teams of our region.  We are not yet sufficiently known by other services and by the clients and their relatives.

Impact - effect

The place and role of our mobile teams is not enough determined in a strategic way, in particular: the place and role within the whole mental health system, the effect on the in- and outflow of hospital services and other partners, or, in which situations should be responded to self-referrals (by clients and their relatives).

To do

To do: more actively searching for our target group.  On the one hand by giving potential clients a practical tool explaining how to take contact (such as the folder in Lille), on the other hand by having in a systematic way daily contacts with for example by priority the psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric services of general hospitals from the region.
