Community Mental Health Transformation

In Middlesbrough, the Mental Health Collective is working together to bring about positive change and a new way of working to deliver improved mental health care and support locally. 

We want to break down the barriers people face when seeking help and to provide care that maximises the wellbeing, independence and overall health of each person in need.

Who are we?

The Community Mental Health Collective comprises partners from across the local voluntary sector.

By working together, sharing our knowledge and experiences, we will have a much greater impact.

What do we hope to achieve?

Working together we plan to make the following a reality:

  • Easier, timely access to help when needed
  • More support available in primary care and for those who have been lost between primary and secondary care
  • Better support for communities experiencing the greatest inequalities
  • More support that helps people stay well
  • Improved quality of life for people
  • Increased range and quantity of support available
  • Increased quality of support provided across all partners resulting from increased collaboration and integration
  • Increased satisfaction from people using services and their families

Learning Together Courses

Our Learning Together sessions are delivered by VCS experts and expert organisations, covering diverse topics and sparking engaging discussions.

Delivering Collective Action on Mental Health

Partners and all other organisations associated with Community Mental Health Transformation came together to explore what we've learned so far, evaluate the activity we've delivered and plan for the future.

At the event we looked at how we can practically:

  • Understand advancements in Community Mental Health Transformation across organisations
  • Build networks to inform future service developments and a community led approach to better mental health
