Question

How to remain involved when the client tends to loosen contact with the team?

Problem description

The group of reference or key persons around the client is usually limited: doctors (GPs, psychiatrists), close family members

Impact - effect

When a client is accompanied by a mobile team, then, considering pathology and evolution, the bond with team may be interrupted or become fragile, which can cause problems in terms of continuity of care

To do

To do: if possible, and with the approval of the client, it may be useful to enter into contact  with the network of friends and relatives of the client. If the bond with the team is broken, they can be an undeniable support to restore the link
