support services

careful monitoring and support services, where services are both medical and social support, where the patient is treated and cared for in the their own home with community services: psychiatric field social worker, community nurse, contact from relevant voluntary groups, etc. (my personal experience of providing these services was a long long time ago, but I don't think the terminology has changed a lot - except for bi-polar of course which is a new term for a very old disorder, which hasn't changed a jot).

Clearly "attivazione" is superfluous and would be wordy in Engliish, nobody provided "inactive services".
