mental health and suicide prevention innovation collaborative - preventative, community based approaches to supporting mental health

Description

The NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board and Public Health, Cornwall Council is seeking to appoint a single accountable provider to deliver a sustainable mental health and suicide prevention programme built on a foundation of voluntary and community sector provision. Over the next five years the programme should provide the means to support people to avoid crisis, deliver social value, and potentially address the complex interactions between mental health, inequality and wider socio-economic conditions, taking a person centred and place-based approach. The programme aims to commission a series of upstream prevention services which target the wider determinants of health and health inequalities through the delivery of four key areas: 1. Finances and debt 2. Tackling social isolation 3. Long term conditions (including both physical and mental health) 4. Suicide and self-harm prevention The strategic ambition is to nurture and maintain a dynamic and representative offer, which relies on strong collaboration, potentially delivered by multiple partners working together to deliver the overarching outcomes (i.e. a consortium or similar approach). Therefore, commissioning bodies will welcome creative proposals as to how this can be delivered across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with a clear sense of ownership, collective responsibility and partnership approach.
