Revolving Doors Agency
Location
The ‘revolving door’ group refers to people who are caught in a cycle of crisis, crime and mental illness, whereby they are repeatedly in contact with the police and often detained in prison. This group has multiple problems for which they need the input of a wide range of agencies, including housing, drugs, mental health, and benefits.
The mental health problems of the group are usually a core or exacerbating factor. Routinely, they fall through the gaps of existing mental health service provision, as their mental health problems are not considered sufficiently ‘severe’ to warrant care from statutory services; but they are frequently excluded from mainstream services in the community, such as GPs and Housing Associations, on account of the perceived complexity of their needs and their often challenging behaviour.
Our Objectives
To establish and promote a clear understanding of the issues faced by the people with whom we work;
To test the effectiveness of different approaches to reaching, supporting and empowering this group;
To disseminate our learning and that of our partners in forms that are trusted by other organisations and equip them to meet their own objectives;
To work with other organisations to establish how they can contribute effectively to the care of the people with whom we work;
To promote the central importance of user involvement to the development and delivery of services to this group; and
To build lasting networks and alliances between the fields of mental health, social and housing support and criminal justice.
