The objective of the MindsTogether project has been to provide decision makers with evidencebased
information about effective models for mental health and addiction services. The project
consisted of a literature review, expert interviews, general public survey, and focus group work
with experts by experience. A draft of the effective mental health and substance abuse service
models was openly available for comments on the Ota kantaa public participation portal.
Emphasising service models that are evidence-based or established good practices is highlighted
as a key perspective in the report. The opportunities to reform mental health and substance abuse
services that new operating models, which are person-centred and support inclusion and peer experience,
have created also emerges as a main finding. Existing evidence supports integration of basic mental health and substance use services with primary care. A multi-stakeholder approach, which includes complementary services provided by the third sector, is recommended. According
to the analysis, investing in mental health services and mental health promotion enables a significant
reduction of indirect costs, like production costs, caused by mental health problems.
