A new animation has been launched to help explain how local partners are changing and improving services as part of the Community Mental Health Framework (CMHF) in Devon
The CMHF is a national programme aimed at transforming, expanding and improving community mental health services for those with severe mental illnesses (SMI). Here in Devon, Devon Partnership NHS Trust and Livewell Southwest, the providers of secondary mental health services, have been leading on work to implement those changes in Devon, working closely alongside other services such as GPs, social services, the Devon Mental Health Alliance, and those with lived experience.
