Purpose

To consider the report of the Cabinet Member
for Adults and Health seeking approval for the Mental Health and
Wellbeing Strategy.  This is a city-wide
strategy for all who live and work in Southampton. While mental
health services are crucially important for people with mental
illness, this strategy is not directly about these services. It
focuses on prevention of mental health problems and promotion of
wellbeing, taking a wider determinants approach to supporting
people to have better mental health and wellbeing.

Decision

(i) 
To approve the new Southampton Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy
and supporting documents.
(ii) 
To approve delegation to the Director of Public Health to make
minor changes to the strategy during its lifetime.
(iii) 
To provide formal approval for the establishment of the Southampton
Mental Health and Wellbeing Partnership.
