Innovation in mental health

HSJ Awards 2016: Innovation in mental health

Humber Foundation Trust - Yorkshire and Humber Veterans Outreach Service

This service provides a single point for military veterans and their families to make contact with mental health services in the region. Veterans can be met in places they feel comfortable.

About 800 people have been referred in three years, and feedback from service users showed a good deal of gratitude.

Judges said this “small, effective” service was “an example to the rest of us”.
