Support Services
HAIL’s support services help people with significant and enduring mental health difficulties live independently in their home and community.
Our team of mental health tenancy sustainment officers provide a wide range of individually tailored services to support our tenants and clients. We work in a collaborative way with the HSE mental health services to actively support recovery.
Our services include
- Support with mental health recovery goals
- Helping tenants move into their home
- Explaining tenancy conditions and rights and responsibilities
- Support on household and budget management
- Linking into community resources and activities
- Maintaining links with family and friends
- Support with pursuing employment and education opportunities
Our In-House Support Service
Our In-House Support Service provides mental health tenancy sustainment services for HAIL tenants. Our support model is based on the belief that a stable and secure home is key to supporting someone with their mental health recovery.
That’s why at HAIL we provide life-long tenancies with our tailored wraparound mental health tenancy sustainment services.
Our In-House Support Service is based on a close working partnership approach between HAIL, the relevant local authority and HSE mental health team. If you are a HAIL tenant and would like to find out more about our In-House Support Services, please speak to your support worker or housing officer.
We provide mental health tenancy sustainment services not just to our own tenants but also to people living in private rented accommodation, local authority, and social housing, who have been referred to us for support. In most cases, our clients are referred to us by their local authority or HSE mental health team.
