This decision relates to the creation of a Psychosocial Engagement Team Pilot, jointly funded by BMBC and NHS England. The service has been designed to provide a timely, problem solving, evidence based psychosocial intervention to individuals who have made a suicide attempt or those with suicidal plans/intent. The pilot service will offer an opportunity to intervene early with a holistic approach to their recovery and one which involves family and peers.
BMBC’s contribution of £45,000 is providing 6 months service until 31 July 2021.
