Working together<\/h2>\n

We have adopted a national initiative called the\u00a0Triangle of Care<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>which is a therapeutic alliance between service users, staff and carers that promotes safety, supports recovery and sustains wellbeing.<\/p>\n

We are working to ensure these six key elements are embedded in our everyday practice:<\/p>\n
