Mental Health Strategy - Early Intervention and Prevention Action Plan 2022-2025
In recognition that mental ill health is one of the greatest challenges facing both society and services, the Department of Health published the Mental Health Strategy, 2021-2031, in June 2021.
The Strategy sets out 35 actions under three overarching themes:
- Theme 1 - promoting mental wellbeing, resilience and good mental health across society;
- Theme 2 – providing the right support at the right time; and
- Theme 3 – new ways of working.
The Public Health Agency co-ordinates a collaborative approach to implement the action plan led by a cross sectoral Steering Group and Sub Groups with membership from; a range of government departments, health and social care, the community and voluntary sector and academia.
