The Crisis Resolution Treatment Teams (CRHTTs) at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) work closely with the single point of access teams and acute mental health inpatient teams, across three areas: Doncaster, Rotherham and North Lincolnshire. These services operate 24/7 all year around.
The teams provide various interventions and recovery techniques, which enable people to receive the most appropriate care for their mental health problem. By providing multiple interventions by one service, people do not have to undergo duplicate assessments before accessing different types of care. The available interventions are:
If necessary to the person’s recovery, they can access care from other RDaSH teams, such as physiotherapy or neuro-rehabilitation teams.
RDaSH encourages comprehensive patient and public involvement through feedback. The ‘Listening into Action’ approach enables the service to grow and adapt their service delivery based on the needs of the population. Feedback can be given through questionnaires, through listening and learn forums or during events called ‘Big Conversations’. To help support this feedback process, peer support workers and volunteers who have used the acute mental health services in the past were employed and trained to facilitate the evaluation and data collection. In response to the needs of population, the RDaSH CRHTTs have developed a designated service for people with hearing impairment who are experiencing a mental health crisis.
