NHS SY ICB - Rotherham Place - Mental Health Peer Support Service

Description

The Commissioner would want the Service to co-produce meaningful outcomes measures with the people accessing the Service. However, the Commissioner would anticipate outcomes to be demonstrated in the following broad areas: • Improved access to local community support for people with a Severe Mental Health illness that experience barriers to engagement or access to mental health services in Rotherham. • Improved emotional wellbeing and mental health providing additional support to those at higher risk of poor mental health due to their environment, individual risk factors or specific life events. • Flexible and responsive Service provision, adapting to the individual needs of patients in terms of their circumstance i.e. strengths, level of risk, culture, ethnicity, language and disability. • People are supported to engage and influence Community Mental Health pathways and wider Service development offer, leading to improved responsiveness in mental health services - making services more person-centred. • Opportunities to connect and share are capitalised upon to create self-sustaining support networks, leading to a reduction of the feelings of stigma and isolation that people can experience with mental illness. • Increased confidence of peer support/lived experience workers who use their expertise to help guide, inform and instruct others going through the same thing. • Improved recovery through practical and emotional support, positive self-disclosure, promoting hope, empowerment, self-efficacy, and expanding social networks.
