  8. Hospital Link Project The Service Brighter Futures have been commissioned to work along side Tamworth Borough Council for 6 months to provide the pilot which is an extension of the current ‘Hospital to Home’ project. The pilot aims to work with 15 customers with complex needs in the time frame.

  9. Hospital Link Project the role of the team To proved a package of support for customers with complex needs who are currently inpatients at hospital due to homelessness. The service will provide on-going support after discharge to ensure customers remain housed and prevent re-admission.

  10. Hospital Link Project What are Complex Needs? People with complex needs will have experienced some of the following trigger factors: Physical ill health, Mental ill health Bereavement Undiagnosed Learning disability Sexual abuse or exploitation. Physical or psychological abuse. Poor Support, inadequate housing

  11. Hospital Link Project What are Complex Needs? Customers who suffer from one or more of the above trigger factors, often use Self help treatments which include: Using alcohol or illegal drugs. Unhealthy use of religious or spiritual ideologies. Joining gangs, institutions or extremist organisations. Addictive or unnecessary pursuit of money, power or sex. Offending, offensive or anti‐social behaviour Self doubt self harm or self punishment. Seeking social isolation. Becoming over dependent on service Becoming pregnant

  12. Hospital Link Project What are Complex Needs? (continued) We provide effective solutions for Complex Needs by providing an Individually designed package of support which provides an appropriate alternative mode of coping with the underlying pain which does not involve the use of self help treatments. Designed to remove the underlying causes of the predisposing conditions where possible. Designed collaboratively, after discussion, negotiation and with the agreement of the customer. Holistic: they address all the needs, physical and psychological of the customer. Multi dimensional: they use all the many services of BRIGHTER FUTURES itself and also refer customers to our many partners. SMART, that is, specific (activities or targets), measurable (we include and measure frequency of attendance etc), achievable (they are suited to the customer, not us), realistic (challenging, but possible) and timely (they are offered in the right sequence). Simple: these are understandable and legible pathways.
