Sharing the Vision: A Mental Health Policy for Everyone

In mid-June 2020, the Department of Health in the Republic of Ireland launched ‘Sharing the Vision’ - as the successor to ‘A Vision for Change’.  This carries forward those elements of the original policy that still have relevance in-light of expert opinion.  It incorporates new recommendations to enhance national policy while, simultaneously, aligning with the ten-year vision for reform and transformation of Ireland’s health and social care services encapsulated in the Sláintecare report.  Sharing the Vision focuses on developing a broad-based mental health policy for the whole of the population.  A large-scale consultation process informed the recommendations in this policy, and it directly engaged a wide range of stakeholders, including people with personal experience, family members, community and voluntary sector groups and staff.  Download this document at: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/2e46f-sharing-the-vision-a-mental-health-policy-for-everyone
