Service Description
The Extended Hope assessment and support service aims to support young people facing emotional and mental health crisis outside of normal office hours or requiring, following assessment, a respite/crisis bed at Extended Hope for up to seven days.
It is staffed by residential workers and a community psychiatric nurse who will undertake mental health assessments of young people and can offer support to that young person and their family/carer. The service operates between the hours of 5-11 pm, seven days a week and can be accessed through the 24/7 crisis line on 0800 915 4644.
During 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday requests for support for the respite/crisis bed can be made by calling Hope on 01483 517 190/01372 203 404.
Extended Hope has two main services
- A house where young people can go to be assessed and supported in a safe environment for a maximum of seven days. As well as providing respite during a crisis, Extended Hope and its staff also support the family to create a plan of care, hopefully preventing the situation escalating and a hospital referral.
- Out-of-hours emergency support - this emergency support service can be reached by telephone 5pm – 11pm, seven days a week. This service is maintained by psychiatric nurses who can give support and care when most day services are closed.
