Lincolnshire’s Managed Care Network for Mental Health

Community help and support for people with experience of mental health problems

#LincsMHnetwork

2

What is the Managed Care Network?Lincolnshire’s Managed Care Network for mental health aims to help people who have already experienced mental health problems, or who are having their first experience of mental health.

An alliance of groups and organisations that provide a range of activities and services to give people support, structure and choice in their lives.

Network members have close links with each other to help people with mental health problems, as well as those who care for them, to enjoy the best quality of life as they possibly can so that they can live well in their community.

Groups and organisations across the county provide a variety of activities including social and friendship groups, formal and informal learning, supported volunteering and community participation activities.

There are over 27 activities for people to choose from.

Unlike personal budgets, people do not need to be eligible under Social Care Eligibility Criteria.

The network comprises 25 full member organisations providing project across Lincolnshire. In addition, the network also comprises associate members, which are those groups and organisations which do not currently receive an investment from the Mental Health Promotion Fund but who remain as members to retain their links to the network.

The network is funded by the Mental Health Promotion Fund. This fund has been established by Lincolnshire County Council and is managed by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
