Abstract
The article shows how Southwark and Salford have attempted to bring alive government guidance by developing a mental health resource for those working at the intersection with integrated mainstream care. Although a local context receptive to partnership working was important, connecting collaborative theory with practice was crucial to the successful development of this resource.
