Admissions Admissions usually start with contact from the referring agency. If the person involved seems generally suitable then they will be invited to come for a preliminary visit of about an hour. Most often they are brought by the referrer. This provides an opportunity for the person to meet some clients and staff, gain an initial impression of the place and ask some questions. If they wish to proceed further they will be invited for a 3 day visit as soon as a suitable place is in prospect. This will give them a taste of communal living and will also provide staff with the opportunity to carry out an assessment. If a place is offered and taken up this will be for a specified trial period in the first instance. The age range on admission is usually from 18 - 40, with exceptions made on the upper age limit. It caters for people who want to engage in both long term (2+ years) and short term ( 3 - 6 months) psychotherapy. Initially, people engage on a short term contract of 3 - 6 months which, when reviewed, can be extended into long term therapy if necessary. It is a condition of membership that people take part in the psychotherapy programme. Connect operates a formalised complaints procedure, a copy of which is available on request. For sessional and group work or referrals, an initial appoinment will be made with an appropriate therapist for assessment. Self-referrals will ultimately need professional sponsorship. |
