Foresight - Mental Capital and Wellbeing
The Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing has been developed to advise the Government on how to achieve the best possible mental development and mental wellbeing for everyone in the UK in the future. The project has used scientific evidence to look at the issues and opportunities we face over the next 20 years and beyond, and the implications for everyone’s mental development and wellbeing. It also provides signposts to what Government, businesses and we as individuals need to do to meet the challenges ahead.
The Department of Health's Personalisation Pages
The Department of Health website provides information on the personalisation of social care services. It includes a Putting People First personalisation toolkit to help councils and their partners put service users in control of their care, and has information on individual budgets and direct payments for people with mental health issues.
Don't forget our regular updates on Personalisation and self directed support.
