Increasingly, planners and practitioners are considering setting up
a greater level of preventive mental health care at a local level.
"Preventing Mental Illness in Practice" aims to inform their
decisions by describing characteristics of "good practice", and
identifying a number of promising approaches which are described in
some detail. The review represents the second stage of a prevention
research project set up by MIND (National Association for Mental
Health). The criteria used for identifying good practice are that
the project: is targetted towards people known to be at high resk
of mental illness; makes maximum use of existing natural, voluntary
of community support networks; and supports people in a way that
enhances their capacity to control their own life circumstances.
The projects selected cover the life stages - from pregnancy and
early childhood to old age. They are discussed in the context of
relevant research findings which give the rationale for the
approach. Ten different projects or services are described: what is
provided, how the target group is engaged, the resources required,
management problems, and evidence of effectiveness.
