Social interventions in mental health: state of the evidence and future directions for research.
Prof Bryn Lloyd-Evans, Professor of Mental Health and Social Inclusion, UCL Psychiatry

NIHR Mental Health Social Care Incubator webinar, 3rd Oct 2024

In this insightful talk, Bryn Lloyd-Evans from University College London, a former social worker and now full-time researcher, presents a comprehensive overview of the evidence for various models of care and support aimed at meeting people's social needs in the context of mental health.
Bryn outlines key areas of life impacted by these models, including housing, employment, social relationships, and more. Despite the recognized importance of social care interventions, there is a notable gap in robust evidence supporting their effectiveness. Bryn reviews findings from systematic reviews and non-trial evaluations, highlighting models like IPS employment support and Housing First as having strong evidence bases.
The talk concludes with a discussion on the challenges and potential of evidence-based social care, raising critical questions about the future directions for research and implementation in this vital field.
