Future Vision

Priority Areas for Living Well Mental Health Grants

• Loss

• Substance Misuse

• Family and Carers

For each of the above themes one grant of up to £70k will be awarded for 18 month projects (activity up to March 2022)

The three priorities are aligned with the Living Well model and funded projects will work as an integral part of the Living Well system.

Loss

• Ethnographic research has illustrated that people in the living well cohort have often experienced trauma, loss or bereavement.

• Projects addressing this priority area will focus on providing appropriate, timely support to adults affected by loss or bereavement. This may relate to bereavement of a loved one or loss relating to loss of a relationship / job / role / identity etc.

Substance Misuse• Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust (as the provider of

Salford’s Substance Misuse Service – Achieve - and Secondary Care Adult Mental Health Service) has a ‘dual diagnosis’ pathway in Salford, designed to support people with both mental health and substance misuse needs.

• This pathway supports people known to the Community Mental Health Team and Achieve. Projects focusing on this priority area should address the substance misuse needs of adults with mental health problems who don’t meet the criteria for Community Mental Health Teams but have complex mental health problems that cannot be met in Primary Care.

• The project will need to work closely with Achieve and the Living Well team.

Families, Parents or Carers • Our ethnographic research showed us that people who would

be supported by Living Well often had very complex lives, the impact of which would be felt throughout their family unit.

• Projects will be aimed at meeting the mental health needs of families, parents or carers, focusing on working with the adult but recognising the impact on wider family members (e.g. children).

• Projects may be based on breaking the cycle of poor mental wellbeing between adults and children, managing the impacts of trauma in adults or supporting carers for example.

For all priority areas

• It is expected that referrals to the proposed service will only come via the Living Well Team although this will be reviewed over time depending on demand.

• Project monitoring will be required on a monthly basis and will be undertaken using the Living Well monitoring framework.

• All projects will be expected to run for approximately 18 months, with an end date of 31.03.22

Requirements for Grants

• The service will be meeting the needs of people who sit between primary care and secondary care mental health

• The service will run until March 2022 (£70k grant)

• It is expected that referrals to the proposed service will only come via the Living Well Team although this will be reviewed over time depending on demand.

• Evaluation will follow ‘Living Well Light’ processes

• Evaluation will form part of the Living Well programme evaluation.
