  recovery-focussed way
• Services will be delivered in the community where
  appropriate, and that we should seek effective
  and least restrictive alternatives to hospital
  admission wherever possible
• Treatment, support and care should be available
  to people at the level they require and when they
  need it
• Treatment, support and care should be in line
  with national standards of quality and
  effectiveness
• All staff who provide treatment, support and care
  should be supported to develop the services
  proposed in the model of care
• There will be increased availability and access
  to psychological and self-help interventions
• We will provide services through a multi-agency
  network of health, local authority, employment
  and independent sector services. The emphasis
  will be to adopt a strength-based approach to
  support people through the crisis.
