Welcome to the North East Mental Health Development Unit website
The North East Mental Health Development Unit is a team of expert change leaders in mental health, whose vision is to "bring together organisations and communities to deliver their objectives, to improve the mental health and social wellbeing of the people in the North East."
To do this, we focus our activities around four strategic objectives:
-
Improving early access to Services
-
Improving the mental health of the public in the North East
-
Giving people the skills and opportunities to control their care
-
Supporting the development of specialist mental health services
Use the section headings above to find out about our work within each of these objectives.
The Development Unit is funded by the NHS, works across the whole of the North East region, and is hosted by County Durham Primary Care Trust. Read more in `About Us`
