Duration of this intervention:
- The mornings run from 6-12 weeks, depending on your recognised goals.
Professional assessments and treatments:
The first week you will be assessed by the most appropriate professional to meet your needs. During the first 2 weeks, we will formulate goals with you. Subsequent weeks we will provide interventions to help you achieve those goals.
Once goals have been met, you will be invited to attend the afternoon sessions. If at a future date you require MTD support you can re-refer back into the service.
