Developing more joined-up approaches across mental health and drug and alcohol services
This session will explore integration across mental health and drug and alcohol services. It will look at the challenges facing mental health trusts and third sector drug and alcohol providers, including geographical variation and the impact a lack of integration can have.
It will provide insights into the patient perspective of people with co-existing mental health and substance use challenges and provide inspiration on how to test out new ways of working, including securing funding, measuring outcomes and mainstreaming partnership models.
