Homeless people with mental health issues are a complex group with a disproportionate level of unmet mental health needs as compared to the housed population. Homeless people have traditionally found it more difficult to access mental health care due to the transient and unstable nature of their living circumstances. This coupled with the lack of integration and coordination with social inclusion, primary care and the Non-Government agencies (NGOs) in meeting the needs of this group.With the HSE moving towards an Integrated Care Model of Service Provision, a specialist mental health multidisciplinary homeless team is being developed to provide a more integrated pathway of care to people with significant mental health issues and co-morbid mental health and alcohol/substance use disorders. The team will be made up of Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Nursing, Medical and Psychology staff.The specialist team will have an assertive outreach function and will provide coordination, governance, clinical expertise/interventions and training/advice to meet the needs of this group. The service will be dynamic, recovery-focused and integrate mental and physical health in supporting service users to transition back to more mainstream health services, housing and integration with their communities.HSE Dublin South Central Mental Health ServiceDublin South Central Mental Health Service combines the former Dublin South City Service, Dublin West South West Mental Health Service and part of the Linn Dara Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services into a new extended catchment area.
