Four lessons from our dynamic panel! 1.) You can help your community by developing services, products or methods to alleviate the troubles of anyone's day. 2.) Research and action gap needs to close. Push more researchers towards policy and advocacy. 3.) Have the courage to stand against adversity as you acknowledge issues in your environment. There will be pushback, but do what you can to avoid discouragement. 4.) Last, but maybe most important. You can break a lot of the mental health issues when we combat the economic circumstances.

Good quality mental health support is in desperate need with easy access and sustainable services.
This is a big day for us. 15,000 of you signed our open letter asking the chancellor Jeremy Hunt to invest in a national roll out of early mental health support hubs. Today our Activists and Dr Alex George hand delivered the letter to Downing Street. It's time for your voices to be heard. It's time for the Government to #FundTheHubs and help end the emergency in young people's mental health. Every young person should be able to get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what.

?? A Promising Step Forward for Mental Health in the UK! ?? The UK government's commitment to reform the Mental Health Act is a monumental step towards ensuring a more compassionate, fair, and person-centered approach to mental health care. This long-awaited reform promises to give individuals greater autonomy and dignity in their treatment, emphasising respect for their rights and needs. By prioritising mental health and paving the way for more supportive and effective care, we are moving closer to a society where mental health is treated with the importance it deserves. Kudos to all the advocates and policymakers driving this change forward! ?? Let's continue to champion mental well-being for all. ?? #MentalHealthReform #WellBeing #MentalHealthMatters #UKGovernment #PositiveChange
?? This is really important news. The government has included the Mental Health Bill in today’s King’s Speech. After years of campaigning, this is the first step towards a new Mental Health Act. There's still lots of work to be done but we hope that reform of the Act will bring about significant change. Our full response ?? https://bit.ly/4cJg8Px
