New mental health strategy launched
Earlier this week the Government launched 'No health without mental health', a new mental health strategy for the UK. The strategy outlines six objectives to improve outcomes for people with mental health issues. The six objectives are:
1. More people will have good mental health
2. More people with mental health problems will recover
3. More people with mental health problems will have good physical health
4. More people will have a positive experience of care and support
5. Fewer people will suffer avoidable harm
6. Fewer people will experience stigma and discrimination
The strategy outlines assessment criteria and responsibilities of the various stakeholder groups. If you are a mental health nurse, you need to know about this strategy.
