Do you want to influence mental health policy in England?

The paper outlines a vision of change developed by the Mental Health Future Vision Coalition whose membership comprises of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS), Mental Health Foundation, Mind, Rethink, Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, Together: Working for Wellbeing and NHS Confederation Mental Health Network.

The paper can be obtained via www.newvisionformentalhealth.org.uk and any comments should be sent to future.vision@nhsconfed.org by 3 October 2008.

Following the launch of the discussion paper the coalition will be consulting widely with members and stakeholders to develop a comprehensive vision for mental health.
