Dual Diagnosis Support
Specialist Support for People with Combined and Co-Existing Needs
At AESN Care, we understand that some people face more than one challenge at once — and need support that considers the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
We support individuals with dual diagnosis, which may include:
- Learning disabilities and mental health conditions
- Autism and substance misuse
- Mental health and offending behaviours
- Cognitive impairment and long-term trauma
- Physical disability and anxiety or depression
- ADHD and social isolation
- Neurodivergence with complex social or behavioural needs
People with dual diagnosis often fall through the gaps in traditional care systems. At AESN Care, we ensure they are seen, understood, and fully supported.
Our Approach to Dual Diagnosis Care
We offer structured, compassionate support that balances emotional wellbeing, behavioural needs, and practical day-to-day assistance. We do this by:
- Building trust and consistency with the person
- Delivering non-judgemental, trauma-informed care
- Adapting communication, environment, and support styles
- Collaborating with mental health services, social workers, families, and GPs
- Creating risk-aware, yet empowering care plans
- Recognising and respecting each individual’s choices and autonomy
Whether a person is in recovery, in crisis, or adjusting to life outside of institutional settings, we provide stable, reliable support that promotes progress — at their pace.
