Assertive (Active) Outreach is a flexible and creative team based approach to working with the complex needs and wishes of a clearly defined group of people. This group is frequently referred to as experiencing severe and enduring mental health problems, and as being hard to engage or resistant to services. They have generally been inadequately served in the mainstream development of community and inpatient mental health services. The aim of this publication is to show the importance of gaining service users' views on the innovative local practices that they receive and to provide an example of how service user involvement can be more widely implemented through direct consultation.
