Sharing the Vision – A Mental Health Policy for Everyone
Ireland’s national mental health policy, published in June 2020. A policy framework for the continued development and enhancement of mental health services in Ireland from 2020 to 2030. It replaces the previous policy, ‘A Vision for Change’.
The Sharing the Vision policy focuses on outcomes and adopts a lifecycle approach. This places the individual at the centre of service delivery at different stages of life.
It also aims to enhance the provision of services and supports across a continuum of care, including:
• mental health promotion
• prevention and early intervention
• acute and specialist mental health service
Some of the intended outcomes are:
• the creation of a mental health system that focuses on the requirements of the individual
• the development and delivery of a range of integrated activities to promote positive mental health in the community
• increased participation of service users, families, carers and supporters in the design of mental health services
• the enhanced provision of accessible, comprehensive and community-based mental health services
• enhanced capacity of primary care services to respond to mental health needs, in which specialist mental health services are not required
