Specialist mental health and police teams, supporting high risk mental health service usersThe number of mental health crisis calls are increasing each year. Up to 40% of 999 calls, in each MH trust, are by the same patients; a small number of repeat
callers who struggle to manage highly complex behavioural disorders, placing intensive demands on police, ambulance, ED departments and mental health teams.
SIM is a model of care which integrates mental health care and policing in order to reduce crisis interventions. SIM results in better outcomes for individuals.
A fusion of skills using a mentoring model that is integrated, personalised, consistent, resilient and supportive

● Boots on the ground
● Hold multi agency stakeholder meetings - coordinate and support one large monthly meeting. Coordinate, chair, and provide a central venue for these meetings. Joint meetings create a sense of wanting to be included.
● Attend local meetings - Ensure all project team roles are represented in the local project meetings and include service users and carers.
● Good communication is vital – communication should begin early. Opportunities for communication include Trust wide intranet announcements and Trust newsletters
● Listen to service user and carer feedback and respond to any concerns, they are your ambassadors.
