Please note, the main purpose of this event is to network with other potential providers. NHS England - London Health and Justice Team are seeking to procure a collaborative partnership to deliver a pan-London Enhanced Mental Health Pathfinder service for victims and survivors of sexual abuse or assault with complex trauma related mental health needs.

The EMHP will be a partnership of service providers working together to deliver the service specification including clinical support, training and development and creating a network of partners. Key objectives of Pathfinders are to: o create and improve pathways and partnership working approaches to the benefit of individuals with complex trauma related mental health needs associated with sexual assault and abuse; o improve access to professionals trained in identification of, and appropriate response to, complex trauma related mental health needs associated with sexual assault and abuse; o for individuals with complex trauma related mental health needs the primary aim is to reduce complex trauma related symptoms and improve quality of life (improve individual wellbeing, reduce mental health symptomology, minimise harm and re-traumatisation, improve functioning (including social and occupational) and support healing and recovery); o encourage establishment of trauma-informed systems that have impact beyond this service; o build evidence base for the value of new approaches.
