NHS Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group : Rotherham Safe Space Service

Description

In September 2020 NHS England published the advancing-mental-health-equalities-strategy which reiterates that : • Different groups access services differently, with underrepresentation in some services and overrepresentation in others. This is an inequality in access. • Different groups report having different levels of satisfaction with the healthcare they receive. This is an inequality in experience. • Different groups receiving the same treatment also have different recovery outcomes. This is an inequality in outcomes. Local The Rotherham Place Plan Reset: Assessment of Priorities (June 2021) has identified the following key priority: MH/LD20: Develop at least one alternative crisis service to hospital admission. The following local outcomes have been identified in relation to this Service: • Reduced risk of deteriorating wellness. • Reconnection to neighbourhood support, peers, friends. • Reduced social isolation. • Increase access to mental health support for underserved groups. • Build trust, self-worth, and a practical recovery pathway. • Facilitate and capture patient voice to drive service improvement. • Supporting communities to enhance skills and knowledge to identify deteriorating mental health
