Verbatim
“Mental health is not an issue that divides us. In fact, as this research shows, it is something that unites people across different parts of society and speaks to the sense of fairness that Britons value.”
“The expansion of neighbourhood mental health centres is a vital step towards making this a reality, building on the promising results of existing pilot sites. By bringing together treatment and wider support services under one roof, these centres can transform experiences of care, helping people to access support earlier and preventing them from reaching crisis point.”
“A 10-year, cross-government strategy signals a shift that the mental health sector has been calling for, and rightly recognises that prevention, early intervention and crisis care must be part of a coherent whole.”
