The existing local Mental Health and Wellbeing Action Plan ends at the end of 2025. Work is currently underway to develop a five-year action plan to start in 2026 which will focus on adults and the needs for children and young people will be addressed via the work taking place in Children, Families and Justice.
Strategic context
The Local Mental Health and Wellbeing Action Plan is aligned to a range of national documents, but the new five-year plan will also be linked to wider improvement work across Tayside.
Once the new Action Plan is approved, further details will be added to this page.

Mental health and wellbeing for individuals can be linked to a wide range of factors. To support inclusion and a broad view of improvements required, other key strategy documents will continue to be used to inform local work.
Key linked national documents
- Rights, respect and recovery: alcohol and drug treatment strategy
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) standards: access, choice, support
- Creating Hope Together: suicide prevention strategy 2022 to 2032
- A Roadmap for Creating Trauma-Informed and Responsive Change: Guidance for Organisations, Systems and Workforces in Scotland (2023)
Mental Health and Wellbeing Steering Group

Governance for this work sits with the Integrated Joint Board.
