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.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Delivering Collective Action on Mental Health

The Guidelines have been developed in partnership by TEWV, Adult Social Care Services. Impact on Teesside, represetnatives of the Middlesbrough Mental Health Collective and people with lived experience.

The aim of the guidelines is to improve the quality of the information shared between teams and organisations for the purpose of referral and to reduce the number of times an individual shares their story at assessment.
