Abstract
A Vision for Change details a comprehensive model of mental health service provision for Ireland. It describes a framework for building and fostering positive mental health across the entire community and for providing accessible, community-based, specialist services for people with mental illness. An expert group, which combined the expertise of different professional disciplines, health service managers, researchers, representatives of voluntary organisations, and service user groups developed this policy. A broad consultation process was undertaken between the expert group and service users and providers, through invited formal submissions and through public meetings. The results of this consultation process were published in 2006 and critically informed the policy described in this document.
