| Annotation | A volunteer project for elderly people with severe mental health problems and social isolation was developed with close links with a community mental health team. The volunteers benefited from training and supervision from the professional community team, while the volunteers took over the role of monitoring, allowing early discharge of these patients by the community team. |
