Mental Health Consultation in Kent: Closing date 7th May

'Live it Well' Feedback

NHS Medway want your feedback on Live It Well, the new draft mental health strategy for Kent and Medway. Live It Well has been drawn up by mental health commissioners, from the three primary care trusts and two social care directorates in Kent and Medway, along with service-users, carers, voluntary organisations and frontline professionals.

The strategy covers 2010 to 2015 and puts the focus on promoting wellbeing for everyone and ensuring the right services are there when people need them. Among other things, the strategy looks at the wellbeing of individuals and the role that public sector organisations play in promoting it, and their role as employers. It makes ten commitments including to reduce suicide, improve wellbeing for more people at higher risk, lessen stigma and ensure people can access care in a crisis.

A summary, the full draft strategy, and a questionnaire, is available on the NHS Medway website, www.medwaypct.nhs.uk/liveitwell from 2 April until 7 May.
