Strategy document from the Mental Health Foundation which sets out the case for a preventative approach to mental health problems, including understanding the causation and development of mental health problems, the pattern of risks, and the prevalence across different individuals and groups. The document also highlights the Foundation's belief that any focus on prevention needs to be linked to service innovation and development, and with investment in solutions that will have the most impact. Areas discussed include: the importance of improving public knowledge and understanding about mental health; the Foundations initiatives to support children and young people mental health problems; the Foundations five steps to encourage a preventative approach to mental health; the financial and wider costs of delays in tacking mental health; and key areas of focus for prevention across the life course. It then presents the five-year goals of the Mental Health Foundation: increasing understanding about how to prevent mental health problems, providing evidence-based solutions, making practical and accessible support available through online and digital technology, and working as an advocate for change.
