Recommendation 14
14
Paragraph: 121
Improve rural mental health service access through mobile provision, community involvement, and stigma reduction
Recommendation
Locally the NHS must focus on providing rural communities with good access to services in terms of location and/or via mobile or outreach services, through effective consultation and co-design, and bring the voluntary and community sector into the delivery landscape given its expertise in early intervention as trusted providers. It should put effort into reducing the stigma of mental health to support help-seeking behaviours.
