People in Mind
People in Mind starts with an initial conversation about what matters to people. This new multiagency service offers targeted mental health support to people in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.
What is People in Mind?
People in Mind is a multiagency service. It offers targeted mental health support to people in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. Our partners start by asking, “what matters to you?”
This is a new collaborative service that is setting an example for cross-partnership working in Integrated Care Systems. It is the first contract in the country that provides longevity of funding to the community sector.
