Abstract | Services commissioned to support women with mental health problems, problematic substance use and experiences of domestic and sexual violence often work in isolation, despite the intersectionality of these issues. Frontline practitioners do not always have the training, assessment tools and referral pathways to address all three issues when they occur. Operational and monitoring frameworks do not always make the links between the issues which result in women falling through the gaps in service provision. The aim of the Stella Project Mental Health Initiative (SPMHI), therefore, is to empower services across the three sectors of substance use, mental health and violence against women to develop this work through knowledge transfer, policy development support and promoting strong partnerships and monitoring mechanisms. In assessing the efficacy of the SPMHI, an evaluation was commissioned which will collect data before and after the intervention takes place. Before we consider the scope and findings of that evaluation, it is necessary to first outline the nature of the SPMHI. There are several components, encompassing an action research based intervention, practice guidance development and the creation of online learning tools: |
