New mental health resources
BIHR is pleased to launch a new suite of resources on mental health, mental capacity and human rights. The series of 8 toolkits aim to build the knowledge and confidence of mental health and mental capacity practitioners to use human rights to design and deliver rights-respecting services. Mental Health, Mental Capacity and Human Rights contains crucial information on what practitioners need to know about human rights and the law. This is supported by 7 issue specific resources for different areas of mental health and mental capacity practice:
Dementia
Learning Disability
Mental Health Care for Children and Young People
Mental Health Early Intervention
Mental Health Accommodation Support
Rehabilitation
Social Care Intervention
The resources are a key outcome of BIHR’s project Delivering Compassionate Care: Connecting Human Rights to the Frontline. Download your free copy by clicking here. If you’d like hard copies, please contact us at info@bihr.org.uk
