About the severe mental illness profile

The severe mental illness profile has been produced to support an intelligence-driven approach to understanding and meeting need. It provides data to help improve support, services and outcomes for people living with and recovering from severe mental illness. The profile also provides planners, providers and stakeholders with the means to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations.
