Purpose

Map out a very rough sketch of what work should happen, and when, for typical cases in your OWN local service. This is an important part of a team's own efforts at Manualization.

What is it?

• There are Phases of AMBIT work, but we understand that progress through stages is neither predictable nor necessarily sequential (see Where are we in the therapeutic journey?).
• Nonetheless, in order for teams to be able to broadcast their intentions and offer Active Planning to structure their work for clients (and to explain it to commissioners!) we would expect local teams to define the times they expect to spend on these phases.
• In general workers should start to plan for ENDING PHASE or a longer term MAINTENANCE PHASE from the beginning of assessment... - this is in keeping with Scaffolding existing relationships, one of the Core Features of AMBIT.

Timings:

• Engagement, and the Multi-Domain Assessment are expected to take:

• Crisis Contingency Planning should take place and be recorded within:

• The INTERVENTION PHASE should last for:

• Relapse prevention interventions (if appropriate) should be sustained for:

• Decisions and Active Planning for the ENDING PHASE or a MAINTENANCE PHASE must be made by:
