Our letter to @wesstreeting. We’ve just released our Big Mental Health Report today. The report shows the scale of the mental health crisis. We’re using this report to call for a cross-government mental health plan in England. We need the UK government to act now.

[Centre for Mental Health @CentreforMH]

📢We’re in the middle of a mental health crisis, but the declining mental health of the nation should not be inevitable.

We worked with @MindCharity to produce The Big Mental Health Report, exploring the current state of mental health in England & Wales: https://t.co/B5R4Do0K3Q

[Think Ahead @ThinkAheadMH]

Doctors can’t help people with relationships, finances or housing.

Yet all of those issues can have a profound impact on your mental health.

That’s where social work in mental health comes in. 💙

Who better to help inform the care and support available to people than those living it?

History was quietly being made here yesterday with the introduction of the #MentalHealthBill to Parliament.

Read this to find out why it's so important and how its reforms will bring more humanity to care for people in crisis.

❓ Did you know? There are lots of career paths you can take after training with us.

You could become a frontline practitioner or service leader, or train to become an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP).

[Centre for Mental Health @CentreforMH]

We warmly welcome the introduction of the #MentalHealthBill today - this is an essential step towards modernising mental health services.
It must be accompanied by investment in services & buildings so that people get support when they need it in safe, therapeutic environments.

What’s it like working as a social worker in a local authority?

We asked Sanjiv, who joined the #ThinkAheadProgramme in 2023.

🗣️"Social justice had always been important to me, and wanted to return to helping people. That's what led me to Think Ahead."

[Centre for Mental Health @CentreforMH]

Today's #Budget24 misses a crucial opportunity to turn around the nation's mental health. And while the NHS boost is welcome, mental health must get its fair share of this essential investment.

Here's our response in full 👇https://t.co/sgmB5UxKbV #AutumnBudget #MentalHealth

[Think Ahead @ThinkAheadMH]

We recognise not everything can be done in one budget

But mental health must be on equal footing with physical health

Crisis centres are welcome but we need long-term community-based care with a properly funded workforce

Mental health provision cannot wait
