Mental Health Prevention Services

Liverpool City Council has commissioned a qualified and experienced organisation to deliver a range of Preventative Mental Health Services. This forms part of the Council's

transformation in mental health support, focusing on strength-based reablement, improved efficiency and effectiveness, and better outcomes for service users, while helping to reduce demand on statutory services.

The service will support adults experiencing mild to moderate symptoms associated with poor mental health or common mental health problems (CMHP), with the aim of preventing, reducing, and delaying the need for access to acute or crisis mental health

services.

Key features of the Lead Provider Mental Health Prevention Service include:

- Single Point of Referral / No Wrong Door approach

- Neighbourhood-based services

- Scaled-up interventions that work (e.g., Peer Mentoring) with flexibility over the contract term

- Expanded volunteering, education, and training opportunities, creating pathways out of services

- A menu of interventions offering autonomy, choice, and control to service users based on individual assessment

- Robust monitoring and outcome evaluation for continuous improvement

The lead provider will work collaboratively with delivery partners to provide a streamlined, responsive, and equitable mental health prevention service, maintaining a comprehensive timetable of interventions and a broad range of preventative services, strongly based on co-production with service users.
