Mental Health Recovery and Employment Service (Birmingham).

Descriptions

The CCGs intend to commission a combined mental health recovery and employment service which will be provided as an integrated service to enable services to work in a coordinated fashion. The service will encompass: (A) A full fidelity Individual Placement Support Service to be integrated into the community mental health services within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust (BSMHFT) and the Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) hubs partly based on a payment by outcomes contracting mechanism. (B) A recovery service that will be aligned to the four newly created integrated community mental health services in Birmingham for adults over 25 (BSMHFT) and the FTB community hubs. The service will offer a 1:1 recovery support planning to include a Personal Health Budget ‘brokerage’ function and recovery focused activities based on a Recovery College model and supports the development of peer-led support networks and groups.
