The Hammersmith and Fulham Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT) is a multidisciplinary, community based mental health team that aims to provide a safe and effective home based assessment and treatment service.
The CATT team holds two key functions:
- Accepts direct referrals from the Single Point of Access (SPA) that have been assessed as requiring emergency (4 hours), urgent (24 hour) responses and routine plus (up to 7 days).
- It provides an alternative to in-patient care/ hospital admission.
The service is available 24 hours per day; 365 days of the year for people with serious and/ or enduring mental illness who are experiencing a crisis of a nature or degree that would require admission in the absence of a crisis home based treatment team.
