603/2017PH - Just Live Mental Health Service - Market Engagement Event

This is a Market Engagement Event and not an Invitation to Tender

Interested Providers are invited to attend a market engagement event for the ‘Just Live Well - Mental Health Service’ on Monday 10th April 2017 from 10am-12pm in the Community Space at Bernard Weatherill House, 8 Mint Walk, Croydon. CR0 1EA.
‘Just Live Well – Mental Health’ is a 12 month behaviour change programme offering lifestyle modules in smoking cessation, weight management, physical activity, alcohol, emotional health and well-being and health promotion for people with serious mental health illness.
The Provider is expected to use motivational interviewing (MI) to support their clients to develop awareness of their own motivation, and give them the opportunity to make their chosen behavioural change(s) – training will be available – and Providers will be expected to attend.
This service will deliver:
An outcomes focused lifestyle behaviour change service addressing multiple behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, diet and nutrition, mental health and well-being, and physical activity) for people with serious mental illness.
Integrated, holistic support to enable healthy lifestyle change that addresses barriers to making health choices.
A single point of access that leads to a range of interventions, appropriate to the level of individual and community need.
A targeted service offer that in its design will be accessible and suitable for target groups.
A universal offer that makes good use of community assets and avoids duplications of internal and external services that support behaviour change through partnership work.

As the Provider will be providing support to people with serious mental illness the Provider is expected to specialise in supporting and providing services to people with serious mental illness.

Please confirm your attendance by the close of business on Friday 7th April 2017 to procurement@croydon.gov.uk
