'Together for Mental Health' is the Welsh Government’s all-age inclusive, whole population strategy for mental health and wellbeing, which was launched in October 2012. This first annual report is a national overview which sets out local progress against the strategy in its first year and outlines priorities for 2014. All 7 local partnership boards (based on Local Health Board area) and NHS Trusts have produced their own local annual reports. It provides examples of good practice and service provision in localities across Wales. An annex provides initial assessments of some of the High Strategy Outcome measures that were set out in 'Together for Mental Health'. (Edited publisher abstract)

This guide was developed with older people and people with mental health difficulties and their supporters as well as people involved in support planning. It responds to the findings of the Personal budgets pilots’ evaluation, which concluded that more work was required to develop approaches to support planning and brokerage that work for all groups of people rather than just some. The guidance and examples included illustrate effective methods for support planning with older people and people with mental health problems that can be built upon by councils and other stakeholders in their local development of self-directed support. This report identifies 12 key principles of best practice in support planning and brokerage, regardless of whether a local authority is supporting older people or people who have mental health problems. Case studies of service users are presented.
