- Resources = Care programmes that can assess the individual and help provide resources and strategies to help them cope with their disorder. CMHT may be involved if there are any issues with the individual regarding benefits, day centres and housing.
- Treatments = Day centres offer support groups and counselling which can provide the individual with support and talk with others also struggling. Supported accommodation also might be ideal in giving the individual independence and freedom but they are checked upon by professionals so they are provided with the help they need.
