Book excerpt: Crisis resolution and home treatment teams respond rapidly to people experiencing mental health crises and offer an alternative to hospital admission. They are an increasingly important component of mental health care and are adopted by many health care systems around the world. This practical and pioneering book describes the evidence for the effectiveness of such teams, the principles underpinning them, how to set up and organise them, how patients should be assessed and what types of care the teams should offer. Other topics covered include integration of crisis teams with in-patient, community residential and day care services, the service users' experiences of crisis teams, and responding to diversity in home treatment. This book is essential reading for all policy makers, service managers and mental health workers interested in establishing or operating crisis resolution and home treatment services, as well as for researchers and students seeking to understand this model.

Book excerpt: This NAO report, examines the role of Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment services in helping people through mental health crisis. At any one time, one in six British adults are experiencing at least one diagnosable mental health problem. One quarter of routine GP consultations are for people with a mental health problem, with anxiety and depression the most common. Mental illness costs the economy in the region of £47 billion a year, with over £15 billion in lost employment and £10 billion in benefits payment. Crisis Resolution Home Treatment teams, comprise mental health nurses, along with support from consultant psychiatrists, social workers, occupational therapists and psychologists, in helping people through short-term mental health crises by providing intensive treatment and support outside hospital, ideally at home. Divided into four parts, the report covers the following areas: the Departmental introduction of Crisis Resolution Home Treatment (CRHT); countrywide implementation of CRHT teams; the impact such teams are making; the cost benefits of such services. The NAO set out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: that the Department should take this opportunity to develop metrics allowing a rounded assessment of local acute services including CRHTs; that there should be regular service-user satisfaction exercises in key areas, and also that meaningful national data of all CRHT services should be compiled; that NHS Trusts should be encouraged to improve their use of the Mental Health Minimum Data; that NHS Commissioners should work with mental health provider trusts to assess current CRHT capacity, and should also work with local mental health providers, acute trusts, GP practices and local implementation teams to jointly develop and agree comprehensive protocols for mental health referrals.

Book excerpt: In Within Our Reach, Rosalynn Carter and coauthors Susan K. Golant and Kathryn E. Cade render an insightful, unsparing assessment of the state of mental health. Mrs. Carter has been deeply invested in this issue since her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, campaigned for governor of Georgia, when she saw firsthand the horrific, dehumanizing treatment of people with mental illnesses. Using stories from her 35 years of advocacy to springboard into a discussion of the larger issues at hand, Carter crafts an intimate and powerful account of a subject previously shrouded in stigma and shadow, surveying the dimensions of an issue that has affected us all. She describes a system that continues to fail those in need, even though recent scientific breakthroughs with mental illness have potential to help most people lead more normal lives. Within Our Reach is a seminal, searing, and ultimately optimistic look at how far we've come since Jimmy Carter's days on the campaign trail and how far we have yet to go.

Book excerpt: Adults, children and older adults with a serious mental illness or emotional disorder often lead lives characterized by recurrent, significant crises which are not the inevitable consequences of mental disability, but rather represent the combined impact of a host of additional factors, incl. lack of access to essential services and supports, poverty, unstable housing, coexisting substance use, other health problems, discrimination and victimization. These guidelines focus specifically on individuals with serious mental or emotional problems who tend to encounter governmental or publicly funded interveners when they are in crisis. These are applicable to all individuals with mental healthcare needs, across populations and service settings.
