Making a mental health care plan

Making a mental health care plan

After the assessment, staff should agree a mental health care plan with you and the person you care for. This is a plan for any care or treatments and what you and the person you care for want to get out of them (for example, help with specific symptoms).

It should be sent to everyone involved (including you and the person you care for, and any other people they involved in the assessment). The plan should explain how each person will help provide care. Staff should also agree a date to discuss the plan with you and the person you care for, to check how it is working and if any changes are needed.
