Approve All Age Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Strategy (Commitments 1,6 ASC Strategy)

Decision:

13.1

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care.

 

The Sheffield All-Age Mental and Emotional Health and Wellbeing Strategy set the scene for supporting Sheffield people – from young to old – with their emotional health and mental wellbeing.

 

It is positive, ambitious, and focussed on delivering change in partnership and collaboration across Sheffield. The strategy would be underpinned by an annually updated delivery plan which would have clear objectives and outcomes anticipated. This would be a partnership document, and a range of organisations will continue together to the delivery of the strategy’s objectives.

 

 

13.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:-

 

 

 

1.    Endorse the All-Age Mental and Emotional Health and Wellbeing Strategy and note that approval will be sought through the Strategy and Resources Committee; and

 

2.    Request that an accompanying delivery plan is brought to the committee in six months’ time, along with an update of progress made.

 

 

13.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

13.3.1

The strategy is a positive development for the city and will enable partner organisations to work together to improve mental and emotional health and wellbeing of individuals and carers across the City.

 

 

13.3.2

Approving the strategy demonstrates the Committee’s commitment to partnership working for the benefit of citizens of Sheffield.

 

 

13.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

13.4.1

Do nothing: It would be possible not to produce a strategy for this area – but it would mean any plans would lack focus, coherence, and public accountability.
