Question

How can be involve partners in the mental health scene in a better way, in order to alternate more rapidly between different services?

Problem description

We are looking for a mutual alignment between sheltered housing and mobile treatment teams.  There is quite a meaningful overlap between staff members (profession, tasks) of SH and MTT.  There is a lack of complementarity

Impact - effect

The mutual alignment between the mobile team and SH is not optimal yet.  It’s not evident for a mobile team member to take on the role of a trajectory counsellor for residents of a SH, as this is the case in the Netherlands

To do

To do: we have actually started a trajectory counselling, by a collaborator of the mobile team, in collaboration with a resident of the sheltered housing initiative.  Although, the alternations, referrals and the relay are not that fluently as in the Netherlands, where everything is organised by the same organisation in the region.  It’s quite different as in Belgium.  Personnel of the sheltered housing is less trained and educated in the Netherlands.  The tasks of SH and mobile teams are more complementary over there: the SH delivers a “accompanying plan” regarding housing, the MB a treatment plan and the two are integrated as a whole
