The joint strategic needs assessment sets out the mental health and wellbeing needs of Brighton & Hove, highlighting high levels of need, inequalities and pressure on services. It recommends coordinated action on prevention, community involvement, whole-system working, service transformation, children and young people, information sharing, and implementation.

Recommendation

Adopt and implement the seven recommendation areas covering population prevention; co-production, community development and voluntary, community and social enterprise provision; trauma-informed whole-system pathways; transformation and accessibility of mental health services; support for children and young people; information sharing; and oversight of inequalities, influence and implementation.

An action plan should identify the lead team, board, organisation or partnership for each action, with SMART goals.
Children and young people and adult-specific actions should be directed through the relevant place-based oversight boards.
Commissioners, providers and decision makers should use the findings to inform relevant strategies, programmes and action plans.
Appropriate equality, health inequalities and quality impact assessments should be undertaken.
