What should the service I commission provide?
- Integrated approach to health and wellbeing i.e. understand mind and body holistically and not separate from each other
- Clinical advocacy e.g. with GP, access to trans healthcare
- Attention to but not overemphasis on the body and its role in improving mental health e.g. exercise, sleep
