Assertive Outreach
Assertive Outreach Whole Team Training Programme materials
The Dual Diagnosis Good Practice Guide (Dh, 2002) and the National Service Framework – 5 Years On review (DH, 2004) have highlighted the central role of existing Assertive Outreach (AO) teams in England in the delivery of ‘Dual Diagnosis’ services to those who have a co-existing diagnosis of mental health problems and substance misuse. Most teams have a significant percentage of clients who experience substance misuse problems (around 30-50%) (Graham et al, 2001; Fakhoury et al, 2006)
This training resource was commissioned by the Dual Diagnosis National Programme (originally CSIP, now Mental Health Development Unit), and was piloted and evaluated in the Eastern Region and West Midlands (Hughes et al, 2008)
The training has been developed to be delivered by trainers with expertise in dual diagnosis interventions to whole teams, using a portfolio (whole team portfolio- WTP) as the central learning resource. The aim of the WTP is to create a dual diagnosis resource which aims to pull together and collate the teams’ expertise and provide a framework for the development of these skills within the team. The portfolio is developed alongside brief training sessions, team discussions and exercises. It will also include gathering information on local services and policies relevant to dual diagnosis.
