Annotation	Personalisation means recognising and respecting us as individual citizens, and members of families or communities with the informal networks that provide most of our support, most of the time. 'Paths to personalisation' is a whole system guide to help all those involved in developing personalised services and approaches for those with mental health needs to implement the necessary whole system changes effectively. It offers examples and pointers to good practice, and sources of advice and information on themes including: person-centred systems and approaches; support for managing personal budgets (PBs); support for carers; fair access and equality; prevention and early intervention; and workforce and organisation development. It is aligned to the vision and recommendations of New Horizons, a cross government mental health strategy published in December 2009. (RH).
