At Aarav Supported Living, our approach to supporting individuals with learning disabilities and mental health needs is both holistic and nurse-led, with a team of dedicated professionals specialising in adult care, learning disabilities, and mental health. Our team includes experienced mental health practitioners and specialists in forensic mental health, collaborating closely with community healthcare providers to ensure seamless, localised support. Our well-established relationships with mental health and learning disability teams, as well as substance misuse and forensic specialists, enable us to deliver coordinated care tailored to each person’s specific needs.

Our support is flexible and guided by each individual’s Mental Health Support Plan, emphasising person-centred planning that allows us to develop detailed strategies for crisis and relapse prevention. By setting realistic, meaningful goals for each individual, we foster independence and focus on outcomes that support personal growth and rehabilitation.

To ensure a safe, empowering environment, we carefully balance safeguarding with the freedom for individuals to exercise choice and control over their lives. Personal safety plans and proactive risk management, supported by multi-agency collaboration, form a cornerstone of our care. Depending on individual circumstances, we employ tools like the HCR-20 for risk assessment, ARMIDILO-S for reducing reoffending risks, and self-harm or fire-setting risk management plans to create comprehensive support structures. For individuals who may engage with the criminal justice system, we apply the Good Lives Model, focusing on enhancing quality of life and reducing the risk of reoffending. Through these robust, personalised frameworks, we strive to support every individual’s journey toward greater inclusion, well-being, and independence.
