The document outlines Warwickshire's public mental health and wellbeing strategy. It discusses the need for the strategy based on local survey findings that 1 in 5 residents feel rarely relaxed and 1 in 10 feel close to others. The strategy uses a three-tiered approach to promote wellbeing at the universal, targeted, and clinical levels. Initiatives discussed include the Five Ways to Wellbeing campaign, Mental Health First Aid training, school-based programs, and enhanced support for vulnerable groups like those with serious mental illness. Evaluation of current programs and next steps are also reviewed.
This document outlines a mental health and wellbeing strategy for Ayrshire & Arran from 2015-2027. It focuses on three key outcome areas: sustaining inner resources, increasing social connectedness, and creating mentally healthy environments for learning and working. For each outcome, it describes the rationale and evidence behind the strategies, provides examples of planned activities, and notes implementation progress so far. The strategy aims to take a life course approach and some challenges to implementation are increasing resources, coordination, and addressing wider social factors.
The document summarizes the challenges of mental health in England, outlines national efforts to promote mental health and prevent mental illness, and describes the support that Public Health England is providing to the system. Key points include: 1) one in four adults and one in ten children experience mental health problems each year, yet three-quarters receive no support; 2) national action includes implementing the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and a new Suicide Prevention Strategy; and 3) Public Health England is working across the lifespan to promote mental health, with a focus on children, families, and prevention.

Better outcomes, better value: integrating physical and mental health into clinical practice and commissioning
Tuesday 24 June 2014: 15Hatfields, Chadwick Court, London
This document discusses the importance of integrating physical and mental health services for young people. It notes that around 80% of those with chronic medical conditions starting in childhood have associated mental health issues. True integration requires an unrelenting focus on outcomes, cross-disciplinary training, coordinated records and systems, and co-located interdisciplinary clinical services. Local examples of integration include integrated neurodevelopmental services and diabetes community nursing working with clinical psychology. The document argues that for children and young people, coordinated and integrated care provides the best offer to enhance their social and emotional competence.
- Three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health difficulty, yet most do not receive help until much later in life. Early intervention can improve outcomes.
- Perinatal mental illness is a major risk factor for children's mental health, but only half of mothers are identified and receive treatment despite regular contact with primary care. Integration of perinatal services is important.
- Conduct problems are very common in children but often go unidentified and untreated. Parenting interventions can be effective but often do not reach enough families. Increased screening and support is needed.
- Schools play a key role in children's mental health but often lack guidance on local support services and resources to promote wellbeing. Increased partnerships between

The document discusses emerging thinking on the long term design of the UK's national payment system for mental health services. It aims to support improved patient outcomes, efficient use of resources, and appropriate allocation of risk. The payment system should incentivize integrated care, especially for those with long term conditions or multiple needs. Several regulatory levers are proposed to guide behavior change, including improving data quality, introducing different payment approaches for different types of care, and allowing local innovation. Next steps include publishing a long term strategy and supporting documents on specific areas like enabling long term condition coordination and mental health.
Worth-it Projects Wellbeing Event PresentationElla Cooper
Presentations from Guest Speakers Dr Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Dr Mike McHugh. Including material from Worth-it Projects Managing Director Liz Robson and Director Maddy Stretton about the Worth-it projects and how the work they do with young people is invaluable, impactful and lasting. They share the integrated approach they have developed to support and improve the mental wellbeing of young people.
The document discusses workplace mental health and highlights that currently workplace health protection programs are often separated from health promotion programs. It notes that health protection typically resides in non-health units while health promotion is a function of human resources. The document then outlines strategies organizations can take to promote mental health at work, including ensuring safety and support for employees, fostering a positive organizational culture, and implementing health promotion initiatives.
This document summarizes the key priorities and recommendations from the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health (5YFV MH) report in the UK. The 5YFV MH aims to transform mental health services by 2020 through four priorities: 1) Improving 24/7 crisis care, 2) Integrating physical and mental health care, 3) Promoting good mental health, and 4) Reforming the mental health system. Some recommendations include expanding 24/7 crisis services, increasing access to psychological therapies, and developing children's crisis models. The 5YFV MH dashboard will monitor progress through key metrics on areas like crisis care, perinatal services, and outcomes for people with mental health problems.
This document discusses improving access to mental healthcare for mothers during pregnancy and the postpartum period in Wessex. It announces a £290 million investment by 2020 that will provide evidence-based specialist mental healthcare to at least 30,000 more women each year. It highlights the clear need and evidence for improved perinatal mental healthcare services. It outlines current gaps and inadequate access to services as well as economic costs of not improving services. Finally, it discusses plans and commitments to improve perinatal mental health pathways, community teams, access to therapies, and workforce training by 2018 in Wessex.
Presentation of current evidence for promotion of mental wellbeing and prevention of mental disorders. The presentation argues for moving from research to action, using the mental health in all policies approach.
1. Eating disorders, especially anorexia nervosa, affect many young people in the UK, costing billions annually. Specialist community eating disorder services for children and youth (CEDS-CYP) are most effective but availability varies greatly.
2. A pilot program in Wigan demonstrated the benefits of CEDS-CYP, with high family satisfaction and improved outcomes. Additional funding of £30 million over 5 years will support transforming eating disorder services in England for those under 18 through developing more CEDS-CYP teams.
3. Greater Manchester aims to improve eating disorder care through a networked approach across clusters, developing workforce training, sharing best practices, and potentially consolidating tier 4 inpatient and

This document summarizes a public health conference on mental health and well-being held in Brighton on June 14th, 2016. It discusses the prevalence of mental health issues in Lanarkshire and a tiered model of mental health service delivery. It also describes a social prescribing program called "Well Connected" that links people with non-medical community support services to address mental health problems and low well-being. Examples of support domains for Well Connected include exercise, volunteering, arts, and libraries. Evaluation results found thousands of referrals and participants across the different support categories.
The document outlines the DISCOVER Workshop Programme, an open-access CBT group intervention for teenagers with anxiety and stress. It discusses the high rates of mental health issues in teenagers and barriers to them accessing support. The DISCOVER programme was developed to address this issue by bringing CBT-based support into schools. It involves a 4-month programme including an initial assessment, workshop sessions teaching coping strategies, goal setting with follow-ups, and evaluation. Research found DISCOVER significantly reduced anxiety and depression and improved wellbeing compared to a waitlist control. Students and staff provided positive feedback, and next steps involve expanding the programme.
This document summarizes a presentation on early intervention in psychosis (EIP) and improving outcomes. It discusses challenges like treatment delays and lack of therapy access. A new EIP pathway was implemented in four Hampshire teams to standardize assessments, promote physical health, and increase employment support. An evaluation is underway to see if it reduces symptoms severity and healthcare use while supporting recovery. Barriers like capacity and IT limitations remain, but initiatives like staff training and coproduction aim to further strengthen early psychosis care.

This document outlines Cambridgeshire's public mental health strategy. It aims to improve public mental health through a collaborative approach and maximizing opportunities to promote mental health and prevent mental illness. Key aspects of the strategy include taking a life course approach to promotion mental health from children to older adults, promoting physical and mental health together, developing a supportive community environment, and implementing the strategy through a multi-agency action plan. The strategy also reviews evidence on effective interventions across the life course for issues like children's mental health, social isolation, mental health and work, and integrating physical and mental health care.
This document outlines the vision and goals of Forward Thinking Birmingham, a partnership providing community mental health services for children, young people, and young adults. Their vision is to create more choice and control over services, improving life chances. Their 2020 ambitions are to provide compassionate, dignified, tailored care from skilled staff delivered safely and equitably. The partnership involves multiple organizations working together to provide a full continuum of mental health services from universal promotion to inpatient care through an integrated system centered around a single access point.
Despite the enormous burden that mental ill-health imposes on individuals, their families, society, health systems and the economy, mental health care remains a neglected area of health policy in too many countries. Mental disorders represent a considerable disease burden, and have a significant impact on the lives of the OECD population, and account for considerable direct and indirect costs. This report argues that even in those OECD countries with a long history of deinstitutionalisation, there is still a long way to go to make community-based mental health care that achieves good outcomes for people with severe mental illness a reality. The disproportionate focus on severe mental illness has meant that mild-to-moderate mental illnesses, which makes up the largest burden of disease, have remained overwhelmingly neglected. This book addresses the high cost of mental illness, weaknesses and innovative developments in the organisation of care, changes and future directions for the mental health workforce, the need to develop better indicators for mental health care and quality, and tools for better governance of the mental health system. The high burden of mental ill health and the accompanying costs in terms of reduced quality of life, loss of productivity, and premature mortality, mean that making mental health count for all OECD countries is a priority.
Better Local Care is an NHS vanguard site developing the Multi-specialty Community Provider model of integrated care. It brings together GPs, specialists, and community services to provide improved access to care closer to home. Better Local Care currently covers over 800,000 patients across 13 communities in Hampshire and Southampton. The initiative aims to better integrate physical and mental healthcare through improved identification and treatment of mental health issues in primary care settings.
This document discusses the benefits of evidence-based parenting programs, such as Triple P, for addressing behavioral issues in children. It notes that Triple P has been shown to reduce problem behaviors by 37.5% and improve parental well-being. The document advocates for implementing Triple P and similar programs on a large scale to help more families and prevent issues from escalating. It argues that parenting support should be integrated across sectors and made widely accessible to improve outcomes for children and families.

The document discusses the role of information, education, and communication (IEC) in public health. Some key points:
- IEC aims to change health behaviors through communication methods over a defined period of time. It is a continuous process that plays an important role in advocacy.
- IEC involves providing information, education to increase knowledge and awareness, and communication to disseminate messages through various channels. Its goals are to facilitate public health education, prepare communities for behavioral changes, and obtain social and political support.
- Effective IEC requires understanding target audiences, developing appropriate messages and materials, disseminating through relevant media channels, and monitoring and evaluating the program's impact on behaviors. Bottlenecks include unclear
Mental health Education, the goals and problems
-to educate the public and its leaders about the nature of mental disorders and methods of treatment, to covey the magnitude of the problem and to mobilize action towards improving the care and treatment of mentally disturbed.

Community Psychology Practice in Taiwan from 1990s to 2015Tsai-Chung Chou
This document summarizes the development of community psychology (CP) practice in Taiwan from the 1990s to 2015. It discusses key events like the introduction of CP courses in universities in the early 1990s. While 25 community mental health centers existed, only 1-2 implemented core CP values. CP practitioners held symposiums from 2004-2006. Challenges included most students pursuing careers in private practice and a focus on neuroscience research. Strengths were engagement with government projects and a new CP-focused master's program starting in 2011. The future of CP could include international collaboration, online platforms, interdisciplinary work, cultural diversity, disadvantaged group empowerment, and community well-being promotion.

The document discusses improving health literacy to reduce health inequalities. It finds that limited health literacy is associated with unhealthy behaviors and increased health risks, and disproportionately impacts disadvantaged groups. Improving health literacy can build resilience, empower self-management of long-term conditions, and address social determinants of health. Effective strategies include developing health literacy from an early age, ensuring accessible health information and services, improving general literacy and skills, and adopting community-led and tailored approaches for vulnerable groups.
Improving Health Literacy to Reduce Health InequalitiesHLGUK
The document discusses improving health literacy to reduce health inequalities. It finds that limited health literacy is associated with unhealthy behaviors and increased health risks, and disproportionately impacts disadvantaged groups. Improving health literacy can build skills, empower management of long-term conditions, and address social determinants of health. Effective strategies include developing literacy from an early age, making health information clear and accessible, improving economic and social conditions for at-risk groups, and supporting community-led and multi-disciplinary initiatives. More research is still needed on the impacts of health literacy interventions on reducing inequalities.
This document provides an overview of primary health care (PHC), including its definition, historical development, principles, strategies, and implementation in Ethiopia. The key points are:
- PHC aims to provide essential health care universally and affordably through community participation. It forms the first level of contact with the health system and emphasizes prevention.
- Approaches to PHC evolved from disease-focused vertical programs in the 1950s-70s to the comprehensive PHC model endorsed at Alma-Ata in 1978, focusing on health promotion, prevention and inter-sectoral collaboration.
- Ethiopia adopted PHC in the 1980s but faced challenges with implementation including lack of infrastructure, resources and inter-
This document outlines goals for transforming the mental health system in the United States. It discusses the large burden of mental illness through lost productivity, high economic costs, and prevalence of disorders. The document proposes 6 goals: 1) increasing understanding of mental health, 2) making the system consumer-driven, 3) eliminating disparities, 4) promoting early screening and treatment, 5) delivering evidence-based care, and 6) using technology to improve access and information. The transformation aims to make mental health services equally accessible and effective as physical health care.
This presentation held in Warszaw at the conference "Mental Health Promotion - from Theory to Practice" 7.11.2019 argues that effective public mental health interventions need to be implemented across Europe, especially among children and adolescents, as a collaboration between policy sectors.
1. The document defines IEC (Information Education Communication) as an approach to change or reinforce behaviors in a target audience regarding a specific health problem over a predefined period of time.
2. IEC aims to change individual, family, and community health behaviors, educate audiences about public health, and facilitate support for health activities.
3. Nurses play an important role in IEC by gaining people's confidence, motivating behavior change, preparing people to utilize health services, and developing a sense of community responsibility for health.
The document discusses Tiltti, a Finnish project that provides peer support and information for problem gamblers. It was started in 2010 and is funded by RAY. Tiltti is part of the Finnish Blue Ribbon organization and provides individual counseling, treatment referrals, group support activities, and an open door walk-in space. Tiltti also collaborates with the Gambling Clinic to provide specialized treatment and peer support groups for those who have not engaged with other services or are at risk of dropping out of treatment. One such group is the Tuesday group, designed for people who want to quit gambling but find it difficult to start a formal therapy process.

The document discusses issues around disability and access to substance abuse programs in Finland. It notes that a 2007 survey found over 12,000 cases involving people with disabilities, including visual impairments, hearing impairments, physical disabilities, and developmental or neurological disorders. It describes projects by the Finnish Blue Ribbon organization to prevent harms from intoxicants for people with disabilities and improve collaboration between disability and substance abuse services. The current VAPA program works to promote cooperation across sectors, advocate for recognition of disability issues, and ensure access to information on intoxicant issues for people with disabilities.
The document summarizes Telemark County's public health program, known as the Telemark Model. The model aims to promote health and reduce health differences among the population of Telemark through initiatives in kindergartens and schools. It focuses on children, youth, and the elderly. The program establishes health as a priority in planning and uses a holistic approach. Key aspects include healthy eating, physical activity, and mental health programs. Cooperation with stakeholders and national initiatives helps drive implementation. Evaluation found the school setting effective for reaching people and establishing healthy habits early.
The document discusses a health initiative in the Alna district of Oslo, Norway aimed at starting health information and physical activities for women. The main goals are to promote equal health opportunities and reduce differences through health education programs, language classes, and physical activity groups. Over 180 women regularly participate in training and education. Challenges include communication barriers due to language and cultural differences, as well as securing long-term funding.

The uniqueness of mental health as a
health promotion issue
Nordic Public Health Conference
24.-26.8. Turku Finland

2. Mental health promotion in
policymaking
This presentation aims to raise discussion
• what kind of health issue and target mental health is
from policymaking perspective
• how mental health is constructed in various national
health policy documents and texts
• what special features has to be acknowledged when
mental health policy is designed and carried out
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
3. Background: The problematic
nature of mental health
• What is mental health?
⇒ Lack of common system of ideas, concepts, definitions and
indicators for monitoring the state of mental health
• Mental health is affected in many levels and settings
• Past decades health promotion had a lower status (vs curing
illness). Furthermore, it tend to focus on physical health
• Stigma of mental illness
• Lack of integration within overall health policy?
→ Interest in research of health policy documents with
qualitative methods
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
4. Health promotion policy documents
argue mental health to be:
• a public health challenge
• an economic and societal burden
• a part of overall health
• a factor which affect quality of life and human burden
• a problematic issue
- the problem of definition
- the problem of measurement, indicators and data
- the problem of care
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
5. Health policy documents also discuss
mental health from various
perspectives
They use:
• political perspective, which consists of
– the public health epidemiology perspective
– the preventive action perspective
– the everyday perspective
– the reflective perspective
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
6. The perspectives are used to activate
policymaking by:
1. Acting as tools
• To ensure the widest range of recipients
2. Giving additional information
• To widen the perspective
• To point out that there are no easy solutions
3. Justifying the actions proposed
• To ensure that the measures suggested are
thoroughly considered for everyone’s best interest
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
7. Evaluation is an important
phase of policymaking
• As a health issue it is problematic in many
ways
• In the policy documents it is discussed with
several manners of speech (perspectives)
• How this affects on evaluation phase? How
can such a complex issue/target be evaluated?
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
8. If mental health is such a complex
issue/target, can it be evaluated?
• It is difficult due to the lack of sufficient time and
appropriate data. Also the target was often
unsuitable.
• Suicide presents the most popular mental health
target
– It is measurable, accurate and simple
• However, it is a poor indicator of the nation’s
state of mental health
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
9. Promoting mental health (and
health) is always a political issue
• Policy and programme decisions are too often based
on other reasons than scientific evidence
• Policymakers have limited resources and obligation in
pleasing voters, → use of targets and measurement of
outcomes which are quick and easily quantifiable.
⇒ Measuring what is easy may lead ignoring what is
valuable
• Even though in the long run; everyone benefits
from knowing what will work, what needs
modifying and which efforts are worthless
20/10/2011 Pia Solin National Institute for Health
and Welfare pia.solin@thl.fi
10. Why conduct research on mental
health policy?
It does
• help us understand what kind of policy issue mental health is.
We already know it is a delicate and complex area
• point out the weaker areas of mental health policy making ⇒
implementation, evaluation, especially the link between research
and policymakers
• how mental health is valued compared to other health issues?
• at its best it may lead into better designing of mental health
policy making, better execution and finally into better mental
health of the population
