Managed Care Network projects

Help and support for people with experience of mental health problems

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

Feb 2016 What is the Managed Care Network?

Lincolnshire’s Managed Care Network for mental health aims to help people who have already experienced mental health problems, or who are having their first experience of mental illness.

Members of the network have close links with each other to help people prevent, manage and recover from mental illness, so that people can enjoy the best possible quality of life.

Groups and organisations across the county provide a variety of activities including social and friendship groups, formal and informal learning, supported volunteering and community participation activities.

There are around 30 different types of activities for people to choose from.

Unlike personal budgets, people do not need to be eligible under Social Care Eligibility Criteria.

The network comprises 42 full member organisations providing projects across Lincolnshire. In addition the network also comprises associate members, which are those groups and organisations which do not currently receive an investment from the Mental Health Promotion Fund but who remain as members to retain their links to the network.

The network is funded by the Mental Health Promotion Fund. This fund has been established by Lincolnshire County Council and is managed by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
