SCIE's networks and partners - Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) Lead National Network
Leadership of Social Work in Mental Health (27 November 2009)
SCIE held a successful conference on Friday 27th November in partnership with the Approved Mental Health Practitioner (AMHP) Leads Network, over 120 AHMPs attended. The event championed the development of leadership of social work in mental health.
The conference saw the launch of SCIE’s report on Leadership for personalisation and social inclusion in mental health. As well as one of a series of SCIE personalisation briefings on Implications for community mental health services.
The SCIE Report ‘Leadership for personalisation and social inclusion in mental health’ is aimed at those involved in developing, providing and leading personalisation and social inclusion for mental health. It is also aimed at those developing the leaders of the future. It explores three key questions:
- What is at the heart of the personalisation and social inclusion challenge in the contemporary and future mental health context?
- What are the leadership challenges in transforming mental health social care to deliver more personalised support, inclusion and care choices?
- What, therefore, are the implications for the development of leaders and leadership
