About us
This is an exciting time of Transformation of mental health services in Suffolk, which has created opportunities, not only for services to recognise and consolidate what they are doing well, but also to drive creativity to radically change service delivery. These changes are driven by the needs of local communities, with the aim of embedding mental health services within the community and truly bringing the expertise to where it is needed.
NSFT in collaboration with the Suffolk alliance partners are striving to deliver services within the 'Thrive' framework. This is going to require significant system changes across Suffolk to realise the goal of a whole system approach. It will be essential to engage the expertise, skills, experience and passion of clinicians, allied professionals and service users from a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and specialisms to achieve this goal.
