People with mental health problems and their families and friends often find stigma debilitating and experience discrimination as a result of their diagnosis or label. Fear of being stigmatised can result in people delaying in seeking help, can worsen a person’s situation and lead to a higher risk of suicide. There is also evidence that reporting of suicide in the media can increase the rate of suicide, especially among young people already at risk.

The aim of the project is to collate current thinking on the importance of spirituality in mental health on an individual and group basis, to evaluate the role of faith communities in the field of mental health and to develop and promote good practice in whole persons approaches. The objectives of the project are to chart what is known and who is doing what in terms of: the role of spirituality in mental health; the role of religion in mental health; and the role of faith communities in mental health. The project was conducted via research and literary search, to identify sites of good practice in Mental Health services (including Primary Care, the Voluntary Sector and User-led initiatives) and in faith communities.

This document provides information for Trusts about the Government's intentions for the delivery of personality disorder services within general mental health and forensic settings. All Trusts delivering mental health services need to consider how to meet the needs of patients with a personality disorder who experience significant distress or difficulty as a result of their disorder. Funding will be available to enable Trusts to develop personality disorder services over the next three- year period from 2003- 2006. The purpose of the Guidance is: to assist people with personality disorder who experience significant distress or difficulty to access appropriate clinical care and management from specialist mental health services; to ensure that offenders with a personality disorder receive appropriate care from forensic services and interventions designed both to provide treatment and to address their offending behaviour; and to establish the necessary education and training to equip mental health practitioners to provide effective assessment and management.
