Team Around Me

This interactive three hour workshop will provide a comprehensive introduction to the Team Around Me model.

Team Around Me (TAM) is a model for holding case conferences or multi-agency meetings, which truly puts the person at the centre of their own support.This way of working is sponsored by the Homelessness System Partnership and we are keen for all services to use it across Camden.TAM is a tool that can be used across all organisations that support people experiencing homelessness.

The Team Around Me structure can be used for any meeting where professionals need to come together to support someone who has care and/or support needs.TAM provides a clear, consistent, strengths based, trauma informed and co-produced way to hold any of these meetings, in any circumstance.By the end of the workshop, participants will:1) Have an increased awareness of how and why people experiencing multiple disadvantages can face additional barriers to working with services.2) Understand why TAM was developed, how TAM works and have developed a working knowledge of how to organise and hold a TAM meeting in practice.3) Have had an opportunity to explore systems thinking, and space to reflect with colleagues on how systems affect people experiencing multiple disadvantage and the services supporting them.
