Home Community & Support Service

Looking for a Floating Support Service? Then look no further!

When it comes to supporting people with mental health needs, we at the Cambridgeshire Minds Partnership provide a service that is second-to-none.

A unique combination of Hunts Mind, Cam-mind and Peterborough & Fenland Mind gives a provision of effective support throughout the county that’s designed to allow clients to maintain their independence in the community and therefore are able to continue their journey to recovery

What we do ……

Our service is designed by local, trusted and well known organisations to meet the needs of local people. Those in the three areas are dealt with by local offices and as a result can have every confidence that Support and Recovery staff are fully aware of the difficulties they face.

We at Hunts Mind, Cam-mind and Peterborough & Fenland Mind have over 154 years of combined experience in supporting the individuals with mental health issues and are able to go beyond simply visiting people in their homes. Each organisation provides a variety of day services and community groups that are easy-to-access and that can play a major role in living with or overcoming periods of mental health problems.

Our Floating Support is:

Seven days a week
Flexible
County-wide through local organisations
Reliable
Service User led
Great value

In addition we pride ourselves that our Support & Recovery Teams are highly trained to provide an effective service to meet the needs of each individual.

How we do it …..

Our service assists clients with such things as:

Anxiety Management
Hygiene
Budgeting
Developing life/domestic skills
Developing social skills/behaviour management
Emotional support
Assistance with establishing and maintaining personal safety
Establishing social contacts and activities
Monitoring and encouraging health and wellbeing

Please remember that this service can only be accessed through the Care Plan Approach (CPA). Therefore, Care Co-ordinators or Keyworkers will need to work with clients to complete application forms and pass them to the appropriate Social Care Lead to approve the funding. Sadly, our support cannot begin until funding has been approved.

Whatever the need, whatever the timing, whatever the age, contact us to discuss how we can meet a range of needs through our floating support teams.
