Tendering For Care

The Mental Health Foundation has been awarded a contract to work with the Strategic Network for Mental Health to develop recovery focused practice within its mental health services. Over the next two years the Recovery in Action project will enable the Strategic Network for Mental Health to develop best practice about ways to support people with mental health problems. The Strategic Network is comprised of Advance, Mind in Birmingham, Second Step and Sussex Oakleaf. From Autumn 2006 staff and service users from the organisations will participate in training and action learning. The outcomes of the project will include a model of best practice on the best way to deliver support based on the principle of recovery; a set of service user outcomes; a recovery checklist for organisations, a Recovery Training module; a tool to measure recovery outcomes and a report on the findings.
