There's No Place Like Home: A Symposium

In 2024, we launched our report, There’s No Place Like Home, making a series of recommendations focused on the provision of intensive community and day treatments within a continuum of care. We’ve been campaigning since then on a local and national level, and working alongside clinicians, decision makers, and people with lived experience to understand the current landscape.

Join us for a dynamic and collaborative CPD-accredited day exploring the latest research, examples of different service models, what can be used to facilitate a continuum of care, and how we can address barriers. It will also be an opportunity to contribute to a toolkit we’re developing for areas looking to set up or improve an existing intensive service.

Through a mix of presentations, showcases, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, you’ll gain insight into innovative approaches, take away practical solutions, and meet others working in this area.
