Question

How can we activate clients, often with schizophrenic problems, and stimulate them to  encounter?

Problem description

We often stand before a closed door; we must apply assertive care; a lot of clients, often with schizophrenic problems, are not reached enough. In addition, we often find isolation of these clients and, due to care avoidance, infidelity to medication

Impact - effect

Many clients become totally isolated and afraid to put steps to encounter; they don’t get psycho-education anymore with often infidelity to medication as a result

To do

To do: consider to start up a drop-in house, connected to the dispensation of depot medication.  This will allow us to work more efficiently, to reach more persons, to stand closer to them.  We will have to think about client-related tasks (e.g. peer groups, fidelity to medication…), team-related tasks (meeting clients when depot medication is given, follow them up, focus on medication fidelity), organisation-related tasks (place and role of the drop-in house, vision, policy regarding the concept, formation, expertise by experience…) and profession-related tasks
