Community Recovery and Crisis Enablement Service (CRCE)
Structured Intervention Support
The service is focused on prevention and early intervention to ensure that people are assisted to maintain their independence and improve the quality of their lives. The service gives people the opportunities to develop personal goals relating to their health and quality of life.
We offer a 16-week focused intervention which can include a volunteer to help the service user reach their desired goals.
Ad-hoc support is also offered for issues such as escorting to appointments, making difficult phone calls and help with form filling.
Areas where we can offer support
- Managing mental health
- Managing at home
- Confidence-building activities
- Money management skills
We can provide each service user with:
- An assessment to identify areas where support is required
- A personalised plan with individual goals
- A specified time limited package of support (usually up to 8 weeks) to achieve the goals in the plan
- A matched volunteer/volunteers to deliver the plan
- An exit assessment at the end of the enablement period to check and record individual status against the goals outlined in the plan
- A follow-up call 6 months after exit from the service to check individual’s status, and to offer a review (to be conducted within six weeks if requested).
- An offer of continued follow-up calls for three years after exit from service

We had an amazing day at Outcome’s Islington Mind LGBTQ service on October 31st 2018. The day attracted over 100 guests and included tasters of Outcome’s therapeutic activities such as creative writing and Indian head massage. CLASH (Central London Action on Sexual Health) came to promote their service and the launch of a sexual health clinic at Outcome. Islington’s Pride also promoted their new project which will be starting at Outcome, working with our service users to collect and celebrate Islington’s LGBTQ heritage. Guests came from many organisations, including Survivors UK, Galop, Camden Mind, National Mind, Wandsworth LGBTQ Forum, Hackney and City Mind, and Camden LGBTQ forum. Following an amazing home-cooked lunch, a drama performance took place in the afternoon, as well as an open-mic session - both of which provoked laughter as well as tears. Feedback from service users and guests was very positive, with many organisations suggesting closer work with Outcome in order to further benefit service users. The day was hugely significant in its celebration of the strength and creativity of service users and in promoting Outcome to other organisations and potential service users
