Stability Beyond Care

Centre for Mental Health's independent report, commissioned by Citizens Advice, features Accommodation Concern as one of three English examples of welfare advice working with healthcare trusts.

The briefing looks at Winchester, Kettering and Sheffield, and sets out why embedded welfare advice matters in mental health care. AC's work with NHFT is highlighted for connecting benefits advice, FCA-regulated debt advice and housing/homelessness prevention with mental health pathways.
