Opportunity overview
Dorset Healthcare is looking for qualified providers to submit tenders for the provision of five so-called “Community Front Rooms” (CFRs) across the county of Dorset. The CFRs have been running for approximately 5 years and provide a valuable local service in the provision of face-to-face ‘crisis’ out of hours mental health support, to adults 18+ in a self-defined mental health crisis. The model focusses on building community supports and assets, signposting and advice, with an ethos of lived experience and peer support as central. The CFRs ensure that rural populations have fair access to such support, with four of the CFRs to be situated in rural Dorset locations: Dorchester or Weymouth, North Dorset, Bridport, Purbeck/North Poole. This then complements what is available in more urban parts of the county. One of the five CFRs will also be provided to Bournemouth University Students.
