This theme aims to improve mental health outcomes for those communities especially vulnerable to mental health inequalities in the East of England.
Overview:
Mental health problems affect people’s social and working life and can start at a young age. This theme will work to improve mental health outcomes for those communities especially vulnerable to mental health inequalities. This includes those living in communities with high health, social, and economic inequalities, children and young people, people with enduring mental illness, learning disabilities and neurodiversity, and the health and social care workforce including unpaid carers. Our Theme includes additional support for capacity building in applied mental health research through our ARC Fellows scheme and supporting emerging research leaders.
Aims:
- Improve detection and early intervention in emotional wellbeing problems amongst children and young people (CYP) from pre-school onwards.
- Support health and social care (including unpaid carer) workforce wellbeing.
- Reduce mental health inequalities by integrating physical and mental health care and improving access to/outcomes of mental health support for:
- People with enduring mental illness, learning disabilities, and neurodiversity.
- our Populations in Focus – those communities in the East of England with the greatest health, social and economic inequalities.
