NeuroTriage

NeuroTriage aims to increase understanding of the links between homelessness and neuropsychological needs in service providers and service users. In addition, we are working to provide neuropsychological assessment, intervention and follow-on support to those experiencing homelessness and a brain injury or neurological deficit in Liverpool, as well as to already established provisions such as shelters, drop-in resources, drug and alcohol services, and social services

NeuroTriage hopes to bridge the gap between service provisions by engaging with the local homeless population by linking-in with local voluntary services that already support this community. Liverpool has a number of established organisations which support the homeless population. Examples include the Whitechapel Centre and Homeless Outreach Teams within NHS primary care and secondary care mental health services.

Our service design is being built in collaboration with existing services and people with lived experience of homelessness. Focus groups, individual meetings, conferences and events all contribute to developing a model which is both sustainable and cost-effective.
