Turning Point. Midpoint housing scheme (Stevenage)

We provide residential rehabilitation for 12 people with severe and enduring mental health problems. Midpoint caters for people between the ages of 18 and 65 who have been diagnosed with severe and enduring mental illness and are on the enhanced level of the Care Programme Approach.

Clients who have co-exisiting issues such as substance misuse or mild learning disabilities are not excluded from the service but will undergo a full assessment to determine whether we are able to provide appropriate support.

Midpoint is a purpose-built accommodation, providing individual rooms with en-suite bathrooms, dining and lounge areas and communal kitchens for clients to prepare their own meals. The building is equipped for wheelchair access.

We work in partnership with our clients to encourage and facilitate changes which support the recovery process. Our approach enables clients to explore change, set their own goals and work owards achieving and maintaining them. We encourage clients to learn from their own experience to maximise the potential for a successful recovery.

We find that this approach fits well with the short term, 18 month maximum stay at Midpoint.

* A safe environment
* An honest approach
* Respect for you, your values and beliefs
* Individual support
* Staff commitment to your progress
