Adult Community Mental Health Transformation

The Lincolnshire Mental Health and Wellbeing Transformation Programme is one of 12 early implementor sites working with partners from across primary and secondary care, local authorities, Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSEs), as well as communities themselves. Together, we are designing a joined-up model of care that offers wrap-around support to those experiencing mental health challenges, tailored to the needs of the individual and the local community.

The aim is that patients get the right support and treatment as soon as possible, with mental health and support services being provided within communities, keep people living independently and improve their overall mental health and wellbeing.

​​​​​This includes access to psychological therapies and specialist services (such as community rehab, personality and complex trauma, eating disorders), physical health services (including addiction services), employment, housing and debt support, loneliness and social isolation.

Our aim

By listening and working with our local communities to understand more about what people want and need, we aim to improve local mental health services by:

• Clear and accessible routes so people can access the right support, at the right place, at the right time.
• People are supported to stay well in their own home.
• Make sure care is personalised and tailored around individual’s needs.
• People are signposted to community and voluntary services, where needed, to support them with practical needs such as housing and debt support.
• A healthier population with stronger communities and connectivity, reducing loneliness and isolation.
• To reduce the impact on primary and secondary care by focussing on preventative community-based interventions.
