People facing multiple complex needs may:
-
have problems have not been resolved
They may access numerous services or none at all.
-
tend to get worse rather than better
Therefore the demand on services increases.
-
deal with conditions that can become overwhelming
This can be true for both the individual and for services.
-
represent a key client group for most service agencies
They do not just seek help for one issue.

Often, we refer to Multiple Complex Needs as 'MCN'.
“I had become a problem, and so whenever I went anywhere, or whenever my name was mentioned anywhere, people would glaze over and say ...
‘Oh no, not her’”
