CORE
Community, Outreach, Recovery and Engagement
One-to-one, community-based support for people in the Bradford District with severe mental illness (SMI) to help set goals. This partnership service exists to support people who cannot currently access statutory services or are transitioning between statutory and community support.
What does the support look like?

Referral
A professional can refer you to CORE. This could be a mental health practitioner based at your GP Practice, Community Mental Health Team or someone from the Assessment Team.

Initial contact
A CORE support worker will contact you within 5 working days to start the process.

First appointment
Your first appointment will take place after a further 10 working days. During this meeting, the support worker will understand your needs and set goals to guide your care.

Support sessions
You will have up to 12 sessions of support, with reviews at the 6th and 12th sessions to check progress and discuss your next steps. If more support is needed, we’ll plan this with you.
If you have any trouble with accessing or submitting your referral form, please email core@thevcsalliance.org.uk
Partners
In partnership with Inspired Neighbourhoods and Bradford District and Craven Mind.
Funders
CORE is funded by VCS Alliance and Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership.
