The Centre for Mental Health has published a briefing: Better together: A public health model for mentally healthier integrated care systems.

Ed Davie, Policy and Public Affairs Lead at Centre for Mental Health, writes: ‘The Covid-19 pandemic is being accompanied by a sharp rise in demand for mental health services. Whilst high quality clinical services are vital in addressing rising needs, the size and nature of the challenge means that treatment alone cannot manage this crisis.

Better together: A public health model for mentally healthier integrated care systems outlines how integrated care systems can adopt a public health model to use their budgets, powers and influence to support better mental health outcomes for all.’
