Abstract

Following a number of key mental health reports and inquiries, a new National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement has been agreed and will be a vehicle for reform that will listen to and engage with those who have lived experience of mental ill health; and will consider the broader remit of mental health and well-being, not just mental illness. This talk will consider our progress so far and will expand on the priority areas highlighted in the National Agreement. This includes the importance of integration of services providing assessment, treatment and support for physical and mental health, and drug and alcohol misuse.
