The announcement of 100 new community mental health centres is welcome, but voluntary and community sector orgs must be included.

⚕️They are skilled providers

👩‍⚕️They offer clinical and non-clinical support which works

Andy, they're here to help. Listen to them
🗣️ "We’ve all had some experience of struggles with mental health. Maybe you’ve stood by a loved one in a time of need. Maybe you’ve been through tough moments yourself.

Too often, illness is only half the challenge, with people forced to wait too long and fight too hard to get the help they need.

Today’s speech from Prime Minister Andy Burnham rightly recognises that young people’s mental health, good work and secure homes are not separate policy issues. They are the foundations of health equity – and they are exactly where prevention must begin.
