Barking and Dagenham Crisis Prevention

Description

This specification outlines the development of a Mental Health Crisis Prevention Offer in Barking and Dagenham for a third sector-led service providing non-clinical, community-based mental health support. The service will focus on supporting those experiencing self-defined mental health distress who do not require immediate medical attention. It will offer timely interventions aimed at preventing escalation to statutory services like psychiatric liaison or emergency departments. This initiative aligns with local needs, addressing the unique demographic and socio-economic factors of Barking and Dagenham.
