The University of Sheffield Street Triage Research Project
Rivka Smith, a PhD student from The University of Sheffield, is conducting a study to examine the delivery of Street Triage teams in England.
Street Triage is the name given when a mental health worker accompanies a police officer to an urgent or emergency incident where it is reported that someone may need help with their mental health. The research project is seeking to understand how Street Triage teams operate and what people think about the service they have received from them.
Rivka aims for this research to be published and to benefit people who may come in to contact with the Street Triage team in the future. In previous research on Street Triage, the views of service users have not been included. This is an opportunity for you to share your experiences to help Street Triage teams understand how best to deliver this kind of service in the future.
