This report summarises the key message from two one-day events hosted by Health Education England (HEE) and Skills for Care in London and Leeds in February to share what more can be done to increase that contribution for the benefit of all and 'transform' mental health social work. There can be no health without mental health - and no mental health services without social work and social care. Social work has a distinctive contribution to make to the current challenges in care through its focus on the whole person in their social context and the significance of social networks to mental wellbeing. The report covers: focus on function, no form; clarifying new roles and managing expectations; promoting the mental health social work contribution; supporting the career pathway; building on work with service users and carers; developing and using evidence and data.

The dashboard also includes metrics on employment and settled housing outcomes for people with mental health problems.

Focusing primarily on England, this paper aims to review the mental health policy developments across the UK over the last 10 years and to look forward to future developments over the next 10 years. It summarises and comments on policy documents and initiatives since 2000, including key policy directions which became embedded in mental health strategies across the UK. It outlines the current situation, commenting that the care and support provided to people who experience episodes of mental illness has improved but that a number of problems remain. It also briefly reports on current mental health strategies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In the final section, the author reflects on what the situation might be in 10 years' time.

In this paper, the authors argue that the study and promotion of recovery can be augmented by adopting the model of mental health as a complete state. The article describes a model of positive mental health incorporating 13 dimensions which relate to emotional well-being (positive emotions such as happiness and life satisfaction) and positive functioning (a sense of engagement and fulfilment reflecting psychological well-being and social well-being). It discusses the relevance of positive mental health to recovery, asserting that from the perspective of complete mental health, recovery is seen as restoration from mental illness and optimisation of positive mental health, and illustrates pathways to complete mental health over the recovery process. The authors note that both the alleviation of mental illness and the promotion of positive mental health, distinct but complementary processes, are viewed as necessary to move towards recovery.
