Natasha Berthollier outlines Slough Mental Health Services' new asset-based, therapeutic community approach called Enabling Town Slough. The approach focuses on social connectedness through programs like EMBRACE, which provides weekly group sessions and peer support over two years. It also emphasizes giving people a sense of purpose through co-production and recovery education. Early outcome data found large reductions in hospital admissions, bed days, and crisis team contacts after people participated in the alternative treatment program ASSiST. The therapeutic community model aims to improve well-being and reduce loneliness by integrating clinical and community resources in a flexible, co-created way.
