About the project
Introduction: The Ceredigion Local Authority, HSG Funded Time Critical Intervention service was established as a Pilot project with the provision having particular emphasis on the timeliness of actions and referrals that form a package of support to some of the most chaotic and vulnerable people in Ceredigion. The pilot has been developed to meet these aims as well as enhance existing rapid rehousing systems such as Housing First. The service will be available to anyone in Ceredigion aged over 16yrs who have no immediate access to settled accommodation and whose needs match the threshold covered by the Risk Assessment Matrix. The Wallich & Care Society are the two primary providers.
Ceredigion Commissioners identified the scheme needed a Mental Health Specialist Provider. The Commissioners (Martin Gillard) approached Adferiad Recovery to support individuals who experience Mental Health. The refer would be The Wallich.
Adferiad Recovery have worked closely with Ceredigion Local Authority & The Wallich.
The Adferiad service works with each referred individual with Housing Related Support.
The service is a Time Critical Intervention Service, we work with the Wallich who have the lead for the project and refer to Adferiad when they have assessed new referrals. Looking to expand the service when we receive more referrals
