Rethink Mental Illness hosted this practical webinar to support STPs/ICSs to take the first steps needed to transform community mental health care.

This webinar, chaired by Rethink Mental Illness Deputy Chief Executive Brian Dow, offers expert insights, user perspectives and practical tips based on lessons from pilot sites, such as Somerset, where Rethink Mental Illness is leading a voluntary sector alliance and working closely with Somerset STP to deliver a new model of care.

It is designed to support STPs/ICSs to come together with everyone involved in providing local support for people with severe mental illness, and plan how to realise this vision ahead of the upcoming investment.

Speakers include:
• Claire Murdoch – National Mental Health Director at NHS England and Improvement
• Mark Yates – Director of Operations at Rethink Mental Illness
• Kate, whose father lived with severe mental illness
