The scale of the financial pressures #LocalGov is facing cannot be met by reducing costs, making efficiencies or raising council tax.

Without action from the Government, councils will have no choice but to cut the services we all rely on.

You can’t separate inequalities of economics & #mentalhealth.

Suicide rate in NE now more than twice London rate, new @ONS report shows.

Deprivation, depression, the link is 2-way. If #LevellingUp is going to work, it has to address both.

[NHS Addictions Provider Alliance @NHS_APA]

Stigma prevents people from getting the most from #treatment.

We need to challenge our words, perceptions and actions in order to help more people with #addiction get the treatment they deserve.
