** September 2022
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello from Sarah!
Dear friends,

What a month it's been. With so much going on in the UK and beyond it's hard to believe we've also published three reports!

Like you, we were disturbed and distressed by last night's Panorama on abuses at a medium-secure mental health hospital. We've shared some initial reflections over on
our blog ([link removed]) .

This week we shared a
new guide ([link removed]) on Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for integrated care systems, setting out its value in supporting people with mental health difficulties into meaningful, paid employment.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Chris Kaba's death earlier this month and our sincerest condolences go out to his family. In our latest podcast ([link removed]) , Steve Gilbert OBE shared some painfully relevant insights on the impact of systemic racism on mental health.

Take care,

Sarah
Briefing 59: Individual Placement and Support ([link removed])

** A guide for Integrated Care Systems
------------------------------------------------------------
Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based model of supported employment which helps people with mental health difficulties into work and provides continued in-work support. This briefing sets out why and how IPS works, and how new integrated care systems can help more people living with mental health difficulties into employment, by investing in IPS.

Lead Employment Specialist, Paul Dorrington, shares the difference IPS can make to people's lives and how it can play a crucial role in recovery.

** Evaluating Project Future's work at Bruce Grove youth club
------------------------------------------------------------
We've evaluated a project which placed psychologists from Project Future within a Haringey youth club to support young men with their mental wellbeing. We found that embedding mental health workers in a familiar environment enabled them to reach young people who would not normally access mental health services.

How are we doing? ([link removed])

A coproduced approach to tracking young Black men’s experiences of community wellbeing and mental health programmes

Young Black men’s mental health outcomes are often measured using tools which are not culturally informed – limiting our understanding of what is effective. Funded by Mind, we've coproduced a new approach with young Black men to identify what impact a service has on their mental health and wellbeing.

We are calling on community wellbeing and mental health programmes to pilot the tool, to help us determine its effectiveness.

Thea is joined by Steve Gilbert OBE to hear about his work driving change in mental health from an anti-racist perspective, including the Independent Mental Health Act Review. They also discuss the impact the pandemic and the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests have had on our understanding of racial inequality in mental health.
