Mental Health Integrated Community Care Project

We want everyone living in Dorset to experience the best mental health and wellbeing possible.

Currently, primary and community mental health services don’t always meet everyone’s needs. Through the Mental Health Integrated Community Care Project, we have the opportunity to work with local people and communities to improve mental health services for adults and older people, and those that support them.

We are delighted to inform you that the project has now recommenced after a pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Please see our latest August 2021 update here and below. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience. You can find the Strategic Outline Programme setting out our blueprint published on this site for your interest.

The design phase of the project is now moving to the setting up of the Expertise groups. The groups will be key in offering guidance and expertise on the themes identified from the main design events. You may be interested in the governance structure below.

Please keep an eye on our blog posts below which we will keep updated. You can also download key documents below.

If you have any questions or wish to be involved please contact the team at communication@dorsetccg.nhs.uk
