The Sefton Homeless Psychology service offers appointments to people living in Sefton who are experiencing homelessness. These appointments allow for a consideration of how any mental health issues may be impacting on their ability to live more independently, and in line with their personal values and aspirations.
Information from these meetings is used to inform and support referrals to local services and also to inform the care and support provided to people who live in supported hostel accommodation. Clinical and Assistant Psychologists from the team may also provide direct, time limited, psychological interventions.
The Sefton Homeless Psychology service also works in partnership with the Sefton Supported Housing Group (SSHG), which is a consortium of third sector organisations that provide a range of supported accommodation to people experiencing homelessness.
All of the providers have made a commitment to develop their services in a way that is trauma informed and which follows the principles of Psychologically Informed Environments. Your role in the Sefton Homeless Service will be important in helping the SSHG continue to develop their services in this way.
