Abstract
Within the UK, low secure mental health services provide care and treatment to individuals with a view to supporting their return to life within community settings. With the expansion of services in this area it is essential that effective models of care are articulated, delivered and evaluated. This paper describes the philosophical underpinnings of the Intensive Support and Intervention Service, a new low secure inpatient facility. The operationalization of the approach to recovery is described along with the role and impact of the initial staff training. Clinical supervision as a critical component to ongoing practice delivery and development is described. Finally, the methods being utilized to evaluate the service are outlined.
