New mental health resource launched

MH4L LOGO SMALLER

Mental Health 4 Life (MH4L) is a national learning resource to help individuals and organisations improve both their own mental health and the mental health of the people they serve. It aims to motivate, inform and enable people to contribute to the public mental health agenda.

This innovative project is being led by Professor Kamaldeep Bhui, professor of Psychiatry and Cultural Psychiatry and Epidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, consultant psychiatrist at East London Foundation Trust, and co-founder of Careif, in partnership with Careif, East London NHS Foundation Trust and the Centre for Mental Health.

Founded by the Health Education North Central and East London (HENCEL), MH4L is supported by Dr Geraldine Strathdee, the National Clinical Director for Mental Health, NHS England.

Professor Kam Bhui said:

“This remarkable resource will help us transform the mental health of the population and all citizens, irrespective of their profession, social status, or the contexts in which they live and work. This set of learning materials is for everyone to improve their own mental health and that of their friends, family, neighbours and the wider public. The accessible summaries and infographics provide an immediate sense of the importance of mental wellbeing for healthy, successful and long lives, as well as the contribution it makes to our economy, children and elderly people. MH4L is organised into various stages of life, and also into specialist areas of practice, for example, schools or local government. The resources are free, to be used and shared. We plan to set up a more interactive website with self-assessments which people can undertake to test their knowledge and expertise about public mental health.”

Dr Geraldine Strathdee added:

“I am delighted with this excellent and accessible new mental health welling and prevention resource. In the last two years we have seen a growing interest in mental health and wellbeing from many frontline community agencies. There are practical examples of how individuals and communities can develop wellbeing and resilience, work together to tackle the causes of ill health and introduce prevention strategies. I believe the resource will be of great interest to communities, the public health sector, Heath and Wellbeing boards, and Clinical Commissioning Groups.”

CCS believes that:

Better outcomes and cost effective services depend on culturally competent commissioning, policy making and health care provision, through evidence-based research, communication and consistent engagement.

This is why CCS is working towards tackling the complexities of cultural and ethnic diversity within the health care system, the workplace and within the learning environment.

Our research, service outcomes and ability to adapt to meet the varying needs of clients, organisations and staff teams has a positive impact on the quality of care.
