Self-management for people with severe mental health problems

Self-management may facilitate recovery, helping to support people with severe mental problems at no additional cost. This is the key message from an economic analysis performed alongside a pilot evaluation of the Mental Health Foundation’s self-management course. While the pilot evaluation was funded by the Big Lottery Fund, Wales, the economic evaluation was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) School for Social Care Research and conducted by PSSRU researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science alongside the Mental Health Foundation (MHF).
