dc.description | This document proposes a framework for providing specialist mental health services for people with an intellectual disability. It recognises the strengths of existing services while acknowledging the challenges that must be faced. Extensive consultation with clinicians, service users, families and service providers informed this policy. A number of vignettes help to provide clarity and a template advises on the delivery of a person-centred approach to managing some of the service boundary issues. Service providers highlighted their priorities too, articulating a clear need for adequate resources to enable them to respond to the full medical, psychological and social needs of service users and their families. This model also proposes that solutions for people with intellectual disability and mental health needs lie in establishing effective partnerships between healthcare providers, service users and their carers, in a community-wide context. Furthermore, it looks at the comprehensive range of interventions provided, including the use of inpatient settings where necessary. | en_US |
