As part of this we want to ensure that an individual's contact with health care and employment services promote the link between being in work and achieving improved health outcomes. It is widely accepted that work is generally good for mental health - including for people with mental health conditions. It is also established that the longer people are absent or out of work, the more likely they are to experience depression and anxiety. We wish to share their vision and aims of the new service and invite interested parties to join us at a market engagement event (details provided below). The event will provide an opportunity to network with other interested parties and organisations and also for you to share your input and insight with us. We want to have a closer relationship with providers, building trust to achieve our aspirations. Below is a brief description of the tender opportunity that will shortly be advertised. As part of its strategic plans to transform health and social care services across the borough, Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG), South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust (SWYPFT) with Barnsley Council will shortly be commissioning a pilot for a new service that will promote and embed employment support within the Increasing Access to Psychological (IAPT) Service. To support us in this the Work and Health Unit of DWP has invited Barnsley to be part of a large scale initiative to increase the employment support within IAPT services. Provision of employment support in the context of psychological therapies is a new approach to tackling employment retention for Barnsley.
