Personalisation in mental health services is a subject that encompasses many areas and meanings, from social inclusion principles through to a simple direct payment, and as such this workbook aims to assist service users, carers and professionals to work through the themes and issues as related to recovery-based mental health care and support. The workbook is divided into 10 sections based on the 10 Essential Shared Capabilities:

Section 1:  Working in partnership
Section 2:  Respecting diversity
Section 3:  Practising ethically
Section 4:  Challenging inequality
Section 5:  Promoting recovery
Section 6:  Identifying people’s needs and strengths
Section 7:  Providing service user-centred care
Section 8:  Making a difference
Section 9:  Promoting safety and positive risk taking
Section 10:  Personal development and learning

Each section applies the capabilities to different aspects of personalisation and a range of activities is used to enable the reader to develop their understanding of both frameworks and how the personalisation agenda can be delivered in an integrated mental health setting.
