Ten year plan needed for better mental health support, charities say

A report by the Centre for Mental Health, supported by 30 organisations has set out a ten year plan focusing on prevention, equality and support to improve mental health. It calls for concrete policies on issues including addressing poverty, housing needs, discrimination and timely access to mental health services to be adopted as part of a ten-year, cross-government mental health strategy, ideally to begin in the first year of the next parliament.
