Abstract
Meeting the complex needs of people with severe and enduring mental health problems who are difficult to engage poses a formidable challenge for service providers. An evaluation of a small interagency multi‐disciplinary team in Aberdeen providing assertive outreach for this group identified the key features which helped to sustain clients' lives in the community.
