Who we can support
We support people who are currently on a compulsory treatment order, either in the community or as an inpatient. These include:
- an assessment order
- a court assessment order
- a temporary treatment order
- a treatment order.
Our service can also support people:
- who are voluntary inpatients but who are at risk of being placed on a compulsory order
- in the first month after discharge from compulsory treatment
- who have been found unfit to stand trial or not guilty on the grounds of mental impairment and are being held in a designated mental health service
- on ‘secure treatment orders’ – who have been sentenced for an offence and are assessed as requiring compulsory treatment while they are in custody
- on supervision orders who are assessed as requiring compulsory mental health treatment.
The best way to find out if we can support you and the type of support we can provide is to contact us.
