Return on investment resources to support local commissioners in designing and implementing mental health and wellbeing support services.

Details

The commissioning report summarizes the evidence on promoting good mental health and reducing the impact of poor mental health, generated through a rapid evidence review.

The return on investment (ROI) tool and user guide:

• builds on the evidence in the commissioning report
• can be adapted to local conditions
• presents results showing the economic benefits of each intervention
• show you how to use the ROI tool

The barriers and facilitator report identifies issues that can make the commissioning of mental health and wellbeing interventions easier or more difficult in a local area.

Local authorities, clinical commissioning groups, Health and Wellbeing Boards and their local partners (for example schools, employers, police) can use these set of resources to improve the provision of mental health services.
