Floating Support

The floating support service is based on peoples housing support needs. The scheme is flexible to enable individuals to dip in and out of this service as and when their mental health affects their ability to cope with day to day tasks.

The workers visit people in their own homes and work towards the individuals own recovery / support plan. This includes helping people access community facilities and services to enhance the quality of their everyday lives.

We have the certificate of accreditation from Supporting People (Northamptonshire County Council) for the services we provide for our accommodation & floating support for people with mental health problems, and continually review standards.

How are referrals made to Kettering Mind?

A person can be referred by their Doctor, Nurse, Social worker, another agency, or can self refer direct to Kettering Mind.

On receipt of the referral the person will be invited to attend an assessment with a staff member from Kettering Mind. Each person’s experience of mental health difficulties is unique, and therefore the support they need has to be tailored to the individual.

Following the discussion a plan is made with the individual so that their needs can be met and the goals that they set can be achieved.
