Details

These documents are for healthcare commissioners and providers to help support people to stop smoking or reduce harm from smoking while receiving care in a mental health setting. This includes secure mental health services and child and adolescent mental health services.

The documents provide guidance with:

  • understanding why smoking and mental health is a public health concern
  • the benefits of smoking cessation and what works
  • preparing and implementing a smokefree policy in mental health settings
  • expert interviews and case studies

The mental health deep dive self-assessment tool helps local NHS trusts take a more in-depth look at important areas of their smokefree implementation. Please save the self-assessment file to your computer and click ‘enable editing’ before using it.
