Abstract

Mental health services in most countries are facing fundamental challenges in terms of their capacity to meet ever-increasing demands with limited resources and limited powers to increase the availability of funding. Mental health conditions represent the single, largest source of disability (World Health Organization 2008), and the mismatch between demand and supply has been so great that we may have to rethink our traditional assumptions about the content and “style” of service provisions – both “what” is delivered and “who” delivers it.

Notes

  1. 1.

    There is also anecdotal evidence that a minority of students (around 20–25 %) actually increase service use in the first few months of attending, probably due to increased awareness of support options (Barton, Southwest Yorkshire Foundation Trust, personal communication, 2014).

  2. 2.

    For example, in the study cited above on reducing levels of physical restraint and forcible medication on acute wards, the 50 % reduction in these incidents was accompanied by a more than 90 % reduction in staff sickness and absence (King et al. 2014).
