Mental Health Strategy
Haringey Adult Services and NHS Haringey Joint Mental Health and Well-being Strategy for Adults 2010-2013 – ‘Moving Forward’
The Joint Adult Mental Health and Well-being Strategy 2010-2013 has now been signed up to by Haringey Council’s Cabinet and NHS Haringey’s Board.
Members of the Council’s Cabinet considered the strategy at a Cabinet meeting on 20 April 2010, and approval was given to the strategy and action plan. NHS Haringey’s Board considered and approved the strategy and action plan at their meeting on 25 March 2010.
The strategy contains details outlining the modernisation of mental health services through the remodelling of services across the whole client/patient pathway which will have resource implications, including investment in community based care services across health and social care through disinvestment in institutional based care (hospital and residential care home) as appropriate to need. Key to the success of the strategy is good quality service delivery within available resources that provide best value for money.
Vision statement
The vision statement set out in the draft strategy is to improve the mental health and well-being of people in Haringey, by ensuring we commission comprehensive, integrated and personalised services. Our vision is to:
- Support people in maintaining good mental health and well-being
- Give people the maximum support to live full, positive lives when they are dealing with mental health problems
- Help people to recover as quickly as possible from mental illness.
The key themes underpinning this vision are:
- Personalised care, Prevention, Well-being and Access
- Commissioning world class acute mental health services with more community based care
- Ensuring the right accommodation at the right time.
The strategy sets out strategic priorities for the three year period from April 2010, and includes work already underway in 2009/10. The strategic priorities will build on current successes in how we deliver mental health services in Haringey.
Delivering the strategy
The strategy recognises the need to shift the balance of care from institutional settings to community based services, and ensuring community services are available and responsive to the needs of the residents of Haringey. The central planks to delivering a successful strategy from 2010-2014 include:
- Improved access to rehabilitation and recovery;
- Improved access to education and employment through remodelled day opportunities;
- Personalised mental health services – Adult Services will be starting a pilot project in 2010/11, including self assessment, personal budgets and support planning; and
- Less reliance on residential and nursing care, with improved access to supported and general needs housing, working with Supporting People funded specialist floating support services to ensure move-on to independent living.
This will be supported and underpinned by a rolling programme of strategic needs assessments (led through the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Steering Group), including reviewing the mental health needs of BME communities, including newly arrived communities, and understanding the impact of transition (from Children to Adults Services). These detailed needs assessments will be key to the re-shaping of services in the future.
