McGlynn (2006) CRHT: A Practical Guide
To survive in the community a person needs money, food, shelter and utility supplies. CRHT teams must address these issues at the beginning of their involvement with the person in crisis. Sometimes they have to buy food, charge an electricity key, lend a person some money or arrange accommodation on the first day. On subsequent days they may have to organise benefits, arrange emergency house repairs, help clean up, take the person for blood tests or to a GP appointment - whatever needs to be done to help that person survive in the community.
