Mental Health Strategy - Early Intervention and Prevention Action Plan 2022-2025

Recognising that mental ill health is one of the most significant challenges facing our society and public services, the Department of Health launched the Mental Health Strategy 2021–2031 in June 2021.

The Strategy outlines 35 key actions across three core themes:

• Promoting mental wellbeing – supporting good mental health, resilience, and wellbeing throughout society
• Providing the right support at the right time – ensuring timely access to appropriate services
• Developing new ways of working – transforming how mental health services are designed and delivered

Implementation of the Strategy is co-ordinated by the Public Health Agency through a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach. This is led by a Steering Group and a number of Sub-Groups with members from government departments, health and social care, the community and voluntary sector, and academia.
