Mental health and suicide prevention innovation collaborative - preventative, community-based approaches to supporting mental health

The NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board and Public Health, Cornwall Council is seeking to appoint a single accountable provider (consortium or similar approach) to deliver a sustainable mental health and suicide prevention programme built on a foundation of voluntary and community sector provision. Over the next five years the programme should provide the means to support people to avoid crisis, deliver social value, and potentially address the complex interactions between mental health, inequality and wider socio-economic conditions, taking a person centred and place-based approach. The programme aims to commission a series of upstream prevention services which target the wider determinants of health and health inequalities through the delivery of four key areas: 1. Finances and debt 2. Tackling social isolation 3. Long term conditions (including both physical and mental health) 4. Suicide and self-harm prevention
