| Critical Time Intervention (CTI). Time‐limited, strength‐based intervention for vulnerable people, which bridges the gap between services during times of transition, generally consisted of discharge planning and referral services and access to a range of community‐based services. The CTI worker provides practical and emotional support and helps to develop and strengthen links with community resources, creating a network that will continue to provide support long after CTI has ended. Delivered in three phases of 3 months: transition to the community (phase 1), try‐out (phase 2), and transfer of care (phase 3) | |
