Lived Experience Team (Empowerment) |
Working within the OASIS model to help those with multiple disadvantages in Blackpool to access drug and alcohol treatment. Multiple disadvantage includes substance misuse, homelessness, involvement in the criminal justice system, domestic abuse and mental health struggles. This is achieved through an outreach approach of identifying those with multiple disadvantages in the community who are entrenched and not engaging with services. Through befriending and building trusting relationships we support the person into the services they need. Navigators then provide ongoing support to engage with services, addressing and overcoming any barriers to engagement. Our ultimate aim is to support local people experiencing multiple disadvantages to receive the support they need and achieve system change to create more accessible and trauma-informed services.
