"More than 16,000 of you told us how the pandemic has affected your mental health in our research. The findings are clear. Prioritising mental health has never been more critical. Many of us are experiencing problems for the first time and those of us who were already struggling are finding things even harder. Our health and social care services are and will continue to be under pressure like never before. The devasting loss of life, the impact of lockdown, and the inevitable recession will have deep and lasting consequences on all our lives. Those in power can make the right choices to make sure the society that comes after the pandemic is kinder, fairer and safer. This can only be achieved if the UK Government meets our five tests:
Invest in community services
Protect those most at risk
Reform the Mental Health Act
Provide a financial safety net
Support children and young people
Now more than ever the nation’s mental health needs protecting."
You are not alone 💕
