Sharing the Vision (StV) – A mental health policy for everyone 2020 – 2030 is Ireland’s whole system policy to enhance the provision of mental health services and supports across a broad continuum from promotion of positive mental health to specialist mental health service delivery.

The first Implementation Plan (2022-2024) outlined a programme of work to deliver Sharing the Vision recommendations over the period 2022-2024. The next Implementation Plan, to cover the period 2025-2027 is currently in the final stages of development and is expected to be finalised and published on 9th April 2025.

The forthcoming plan will incorporate the vision, values and principles of Sharing the Vision and is, like the policy document, structured around four domains; i) Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention; ii) Service Access, Coordination and Continuity of Care; iii) Social Inclusion and vi) Accountability and Continuous Improvement.

The plan has been informed by an extensive stakeholder consultation process and will guide the delivery of all 100 recommendations in Sharing the Vision up to end-2027.
