Mental Health Community Inclusion & Recovery Services

Services Agreement for Mental Health Community Inclusion & Recovery Services.

The service focuses on early intervention and prevention support for those living with mental health needs.

The Mental Health Community Inclusion and Recovery Service will provide opportunities for people with all levels of mental health needs to:

• Access peer support
• Access light-touch information, advice and guidance
• Engage with the community in a meaningful way
• Form valuable relationships
• Better maintain their recoveries

At a system level, the service will:

• Prevent lower-level needs (e.g. anxiety and depression being treated in the community) from escalating
• Contribute to a reduction in demand on intensive secondary mental health services (e.g. In-patient services or adult locality mental health teams provided by CPFT)
• Contribute to the prevention, reduction or delay of adult social care needs for those with severe and enduring mental health conditions (e.g. schizophrenia, personality disorders).

This agreement will commence 1st September 2026 with a 3+1+1 Contract Term.
