Question

How to get  an assertive outreach care on its feet? 

Problem description

There is little to no expertise in the mobile team  to do assertive outreaching for clients that are not known (to mental health services)

Impact - effect

This requires a lot of team members, and provokes a lot of frustrations and questions whether this is really the thing to be done by the team. We give up quickly with these clients

To do

To do: out-of-the-box thinking, use creativity to get access to (the house of) the client.  For example: Henselmans, he threw money into the house when clients didn’t open the door.   But be sure that these creative approaches are supported by the whole team and organisation
