This report explores the different ways that local authorities support mental health and wellbeing in communities, using their statutory duties and non-statutory duties. It looks at what councils can do to create mentally well places and highlights their role in the prevention and early intervention of mental health problems, along with the voluntary and community sector. The report looks how council services can contribute to mental wellbeing in the following areas: adult social care; public health; child and adolescent mental health; housing and homelessness; community safety; parks and green spaces; and culture and leisure services. It includes short case studies of local authority initiatives and links to additional resources. It also highlights the need to re-focus mental health policy away from medicalisation and mental ill health to prevention, early intervention and mental wellness. (Edited publisher abstract)
