We're investigating community mental health services and we want to hear from you 📢

We want to know what you think high-quality care looks like for people with severe mental illness.

An adequate supply of #supportedhousing can also help to take pressure off residential care as people's needs can be met earlier and prevented from escalating, helping them maintain their independence

[mark winstanley @charitablemark]

@Rethink_ this morning with colleagues from @CarersUK and many other organisations promoting the rights of carers at a roundtable with @Helen_Whately the Minister for Social Care and to start the countdown to Carers Week. We called for a clear cross government strategy for carers

[Sonia Johnson @soniajohnson]

We're looking for people who have received crisis café/sanctuary support and would be happy to talk confidentially to a post-grad researcher about how they found it. We will feed back results to policy makers and hope they will be a basis for more research on this.

Participants receive £20 as thanks. Please do get in touch for more details if interested.

TW - neglect/death.

The appalling case of Laura Winham gives more disgraceful evidence that vulnerable people are falling through the cracks.

Government must act, change is needed. Laura's death was preventable and she deserved so much better 👇

[NHS Providers (now known as The NHS Alliance) @NHSProviders]

For week 8 of our #NHSWinterWatch campaign, we feature a case study from @Rethink_'s @HCrawford1990 who discusses the importance of residential nursing services, which is helping to aid hospital discharges for those living with a mental illness.

@EdDavie @so_says_sally @BenWealthy1 Really useful Sally! I compared Spending Review 2021 and today's doc and like-for-like comparison for NHSE budget shows difference between settlements 23/24 falls short of £3.3bn (difference is £2.6bn - whereas bang on £3.3bn for 24/25). Is there an easy explanation for this?

[Simon Bottery @blimeysimon]

The huge problem here is that council tax raises least money in the very areas that need to spend the most. National funding, properly allocated, is the only fair and rational way to fund #socialcare.

💬 On Monday, the government could announce real-terms cuts to the NHS, social care and benefits.

We can’t let that happen.

Please, email your MP and help us turn the tide on mental health 👉 https://t.co/Zj4hH2jcsY

💬 According to @CareQualityComm's report, more people are seeking help for their mental health from the NHS & social care, but too many are not having their needs met.

The system desperately needs long-term funding and staff investment to improve the future state of care 👇

[Sam Holmes @Civil_Sam]

Huge congrats to EbE Leaders in Coventry & Warwickshire for winning the #InnovateAwards Excellence in Patient and Public Involvement in Transformation and Innovation Award tonight - well deserved recognition! @Rethink_

[Harvey Crawford @HCrawford1990]

Our new report looking at the first England-wide year of the Community Mental Health Framework.

So many areas are doing amazing, challenging work in pursuit of transformative change. My message - keep at it!

[Rethink Mental Illness @Rethink_]

🧵 THREAD

The creation of the Community Mental Health Framework represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change community mental health care for the better.

Our new report digs into the challenges faced by people enacting those changes, and how we can overcome them 👇

[Andy Bell @Andy__Bell__]

Sincerely hope @SteveBarclay will not say (as suggested in @thetimes this morning) that mental health should no longer be a priority for @NHSEngland today. That would be a disaster for thousands of people already struggling with both physical and mental health needs

[Harvey Crawford @HCrawford1990]

@helengilburt Hey Helen - would you be happy to follow back so I can ask a question privately regarding Kings Fund work on the Community Mental Health Framework?

During times of political & economic turmoil, we have never been more clear in our mission to support people living with mental illness.

We have faith in our communities and institutions such as the NHS to keep us safe and well.

However you're feeling today, we're here to help.
