Critical Time Intervention (CTI)

CTI is designed specifically to enhance the continuity and focus of care during the transition from psychiatric hospital to community care. CTI does not replace community treatment and support, but instead is meant to complement available services. CTI will provide training in community living skills and in team-managed transfer of caregiving from hospitals to services and supports in the community. Participants will receive CTI for 9 months after hospital discharge.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual care

Usual care will include the standard aftercare and community care services.
