The aim of our work on Gender Eequality and Women’s Mental Health (GE & WMH) is to ensure the development of mental health systems that are able to deliver appropriate and gender equal services with a particular focus on women.
The programme was established in 2003/04 to support the Implementation Guidance: Mainstreaming Gender and Women’s Mental Health (visit the relevant pages on the Department of Health website) and its focus has been the specific delivery of differentiated high quality services for women service users and the development of a gendered context for mental health and social care.
