Doing Mental Health Differently
Greater Manchester's Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2024-2029

Supporting good mental health in Salford has always been a high priority. As a city facing challenges around poverty, physical health and education, we have similar challenges around the number of people with emotional wellbeing and mental health needs.

This is the updated five-year Greater Manchester Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy. It sets out what we will do together as a city-region to improve the mental health of people in Greater Manchester, to better support those with mental ill health and to reduce mental health inequalities across our city region.

We know that no single part of our system can solve the mental health and wellbeing challenges we face as a city-region. This strategy is an all age strategy, recognising that mental health is influenced by various issues from formal health services to social and economic conditions, to community, individual and family circumstances.

We all have a part to play in Greater Manchester becoming a mentally healthy city region. Achieving our shared vision is dependent upon a strong partnership approach. This means working in partnership with the public, voluntary sector, local government , other public services and importantly those with lived experience , so that each part of civic society in Greater Manchester can contribute to improved mental health.

This Strategy will be supported by an action plan with clear outcomes, co-developed, owned and delivered by the system.
