This workbook is based on the experience of seven voluntary sector projects that were part of the Mental Health Foundation Adult Crisis Service Development Programme, which ran from 1997-2002. As part of its Adult Crisis programme, the Mental Health Foundation funded seven community-based crisis services in England: two residential services, two safe houses and three telephone helplines. This workbook highlights key issues to be aware of when establishing a crisis service and suggests some of the ways they can be tackled. It uses several methods of presenting ideas and information to help develop projects. It includes: examples of experiences of the seven Mental Health Foundation-funded crisis projects to demonstrate the many issues that need to be considered when setting up a crisis project; checklists to assist identification of what has been achieved and what still needs to be done; and group exercises and handouts to stimulate thinking and debate on key issues and to assist decision-making.
