Time to make a difference

This explainer film is a short visual walkthrough of the NHS Long Term Plan commitment to community mental health transformation.

The film describes the principles of the already-published Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults as per the vision of the Long Term Plan. It explains the roles of the different organisations that need to work together to develop these models and the central focus on the needs and involvement of patients, those that care for them and other experts by experience.
