The new agenda for mental health services, driven by the National Service Framework for Mental Health, places emphasis on social inclusion, the promotion of mental health, the provision of needs-led services and the development of partnerships with users, carers and the wider community. The evaluation focused on an occupational therapy initiative that embraced this agenda and which was targeted at young people, aged between 16 and 25 years, who were experiencing or who had recently experienced psychosis. The programme integrated the provision of evidence-based psychosocial therapies, namely early intervention, family intervention, cognitive therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy, and occupational therapy. It was evaluated by gaining the perspectives of both consumers and providers of the programme. The findings highlight the challenges of and opportunities for providing such integrated programmes. They have informed a series of recommendations, which are discussed in relation to the current political and professional contexts of health and social care modernisation and reform.
