The resource library was requested by regional mental health commissioners.
It consists of eleven sections lookiong at different subject areas;
- Day Services and Day Hospital Provision
- Inpatient Services
- Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Teams
- Community Mental Health Teams (Older People)
- Psychiatric Liaison Services
- General Practice
- Psychological Services
- Care Home Liaison

It can usefully be read alongside the 2007 CSIP document 'Everybody's Business'. It aims to be a 'first port of call' for information on contemporary thinking in older people's mental health services and can support the refresh of older people's mental health strategy documents. Each of the thematic areas is broken down into three sections, key ideas, a case study and a section on further reading.
