Project Description
The needs of women have over the years been central to the government’s many programmes of reform through a strategic commitment to addressing discrimination and inequality. Modernising mental health services was one of a core set of national priorities. There are key differences in the family and social context of women’s and men’s lives, the experience and impact of life events, the presentation and character of their mental ill health and consequently their care and treatment needs, therefore mental health care must be responsive to these differences.
JMB Health Consultancy Ltd were delighted to be commissioned to provide a progress report which quantified and qualified the commitment of mental health services within the North West in delivering equality and addressing gender-specific national agenda’s over the past decade.
Our report demonstrated a vast portfolio of methodologies and work-streams developed to support literature, local and national drivers which collectively define the services women need.
All of the information was extracted from a collection of reports, presentations and documents issued under the umbrella of what women want from mental health services, as delivered by the trust lead for women’s health.
