🚨 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 👇

.@SteveBarclay, today marks the 40th anniversary of the Mental Health Act. I'm supporting @Rethink_ to make sure that @DHSCgovuk #WrapItUp and reform the Act as soon as possible. Forty years is a long time to wait. Don’t delay. Please act now.

[Rethink_Parliament @Rethink_Parli]

At 3.30pm today our Associate Director for Policy and Practice, Lucy Schonegevel, will be giving evidence at the first session on the draft Mental Health Bill.

We need a Mental Health Act fit for the 21st Century.

📢 Millions of people needing Universal Credit because of #COVID19 were saved from sanctions by the Gov’s 3 month suspension of work-related benefit conditionality BUT this expires on Tuesday!

@ThereseCoffey - will you extend it by 6 months? @RishiSunak

The first parliamentary debate on the future of the Mental Health Act takes place on July 25th. It’s crucial that your MP attends so that our message of reform is heard by our elective representatives. Email your MP here > https://t.co/aUI8e64yWn

We’ve written to all Tory leadership candidates asking them to:

1. Commit to reform the Mental Health Act

Thanks so much @the_only_abi for this amazing #gbdoc chat I missed last night but now picking up alllll the tips. Been so focussed on managing diabetes and pregnancy it barely crossed my mind to prep for what happens after in less than 2 months time! #t1d @GbdocTChost

[GBDoc Tweetchat Host @GbdocTChost]

Q1 – How did you prepare for your new arrival with your diabetes (especially you ladies, pregnancy and diabetes isn’t easy!)? Did you expect for things to change with your diabetes once your new addition had arrived? #gbdoc
