Chisholm & Ford (2004) Transforming Mental Health Care 

Learning points:

• CRTs start with getting some basics sorted out - food, money and alleviating distress. This enables initial engagement.
• Over time CRTs undertake a broader range of psychological interventions and social supports. They also work with families.
• A positive aspect of CR is the amount of face-to-face support received, which may be more than someone would receive in a hospital setting. (p. 55)
