A conference programmed for early December by Homeless Link is concerned with developing support for people who have needs that are complex and multi-faceted. Often they fall just under the threshold for services and do not fit easily into conventional treatment patterns. They cross between drug and alcohol services, homelessness provision, prison, mental health services and acute health services. This conference is an opportunity for service providers, from across the four different sectors of criminal justice, substance misuse, homelessness and mental health, to feed in their views and share solutions and approaches to improving the lives of this client group.
