Building Resilient Communities Summary

Published: August 2013

This is the summary of a report that focuses on resilience; setting out the types of services, resources and infrastructure that need to be in place locally to support resilient communities, helping people to ‘feel good and function well’. It will be of interest to those who commission (or aim to influence the commissioning of) local services, those who provide services that impact on the wellbeing and resilience of their local community and those who use these services.

The summary is one of a series of resources produced on behalf of the Mental Health Strategic Partnership’s Building resilient communities project. The rest of the materials are available to download here:
