Interventional

Intervention Type : Other
Intervention Description : Service users under the care of community services in each of the participating inner-city sites (Birmingham, London and Manchester/Lancashire) will be identified by CPA and IT record systems and Care Co-ordinator case lists. Participants will be randomised to control or intervention. Those randomised to the intervention group will develop a Joint Crisis Plan. Those randomised to the control group, will continue to receive treatment as usual.

The Joint Crisis Plan (JCP) intervention aims to empower the holder and to facilitate early detection and treatment of relapse. It is developed by a mental health service user in collaboration with staff with the assistance of an independent facilitator. Held by the service user, it contains his or her treatment preferences for any future psychiatric emergency, when he or she may be too unwell to express clear views. The JCP format has developed over the last decade after widespread consultation with national service user groups, interviews with organisations and individuals using JCPs, and after detailed developmental work with service users in South London.
