Our CEO @markrowland77 found time for one final meeting of 2024. ๐
While not even Santa can help our dream of a mentally healthier country come true overnight, thanks to your incredible support, weโre now closer to our goal.
Wishing you all the best for the holidays ๐
๐จ Mental health services are already stretched beyond capacity.
Yet there are reports that the government may axe vital safeguards for mental health funding.
Alongside 17 organisations, we've written to the PM asking to protect funding for services ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Great to see @wesstreeting announce a #menshealth strategy today. Men are less likely to seek help for health issues and more likely to die by suicide. Dedicated thought must also be given to the #mentalhealth of women & girls, who are at increased risk of anxiety and depression.
Lots to welcome in the government's Get Britain Working paper - especially departure from the toxic rhetoric about people too unwell to work, a commitment to tackling poor #mentalhealth
and focus on #prevention . The wait to hear about benefits sanctions is worrying though.
There will be many of us who feel shocked and scared to see the violence happening in our streets in the UK. The racist nature of the violence will mean that people from racialised communities will be feeling particularly vulnerable. (1 of 2)

You may have noticed a change in how we look. Thatโs because weโve had an exciting re-brand! ๐
We are still driven by the same purpose: to develop better ways to support good mental health. But our new look will help us better communicate who we are and what we do.
