Confident Communities, Brighter Futures
Theme: mental wellbeing
This report, published in March 2010, builds on and develops New Horizons, the new national vision for mental health in England for 2010 and beyond. New Horizons set out a cross-government and cross-sector programme of action to advance the linked aims of:
- Improving the mental health and wellbeing of the population
- Improving the quality and accessibility of services for people with poor mental health
It sets out the argument and evidence base for prioritising well-being, and provides a systematic approach to improving mental well-being with selected evidence-based approaches and interventions that have been shown to be effective across the life course, and across key public health domains.
