How they can help you
When you’re experiencing a severe mental health crisis, the HTT provides intensive, immediate support in your own home or community setting. This prevents the need for hospital admission while still providing the urgent care you need. The multidisciplinary team works intensively with you and your carers to stabilise the crisis and help you recover.
What to expect
When you contact the service during a crisis, you’ll be assessed by the Acute Crisis and Assessment Team (ACAT) to determine if home treatment is appropriate. If accepted, the HTT will provide intensive support, typically visiting you at home regularly during the acute crisis period. A care plan will be developed and you’ll work with the multidisciplinary team to manage your crisis and work towards recovery.
