Late to this (babies are full on) but this is an exceptionally comprehensive case for change, drilling down into everything that's wrong with mental health in this country and the systemic issues that underpin it. Essential reading ahead of a General Election

Thank you @nicholaspinnock for speaking up and encouraging us to all be mindful of the language we use when talking about mental health. Read our media guidelines if you’re looking for help on how to talk about mental health without adding to the stigma: mind.org.uk/media-centre/h…

first hand reporting from @MindinCroydon about what this week's welfar changes mean for the people they support

Touted benefits reforms seem designed to target people with mental health problems. + Health Sec's comments, it's hard not to conclude that the gvt isn't just deprioritising mental health, it's actively undermining the lives of those with mental health problems. via @thetimes

such a powerful piece about the deep-rooted racism in our mental health system, told by Devon and Tiwa who, despite the generations between them, had equally traumatic and unjust experiences. top work @nanc_laws @MindCharity @guardiannews theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

It’s happening. A general election has been called. We want you to know first and foremost that we’re fighting your corner. And we won’t stop until everyone with a mental health problem gets support and respect. (1/2)

More young people than ever are being referred for their mental health according to new NHS data. We need to do more to support young people's wellbeing. The cost of living crisis is affecting young people with mental health problems. Here's how ⬇ (1/3)

CW: sexual abuse. @SkyNews and @Independent's investigation findings are horrifying. Mental health hospitals should be places where people are safe and cared for. No one should experience this kind of abuse. Trusts failing to address these crimes need to be held accountable.

It's a year since a joint committee of politicians published a report on the draft mental health bill. This would change how people in crisis are treated. We're still waiting on the UK govt's response. Despite all the times they said they would prioritise mental health 👇🏽 (1/4)

It's been a year since MPs urged the government to strengthen the draft #MentalHealthBill. But since then we've heard nothing about their plans to update it, or to protect people with a #LearningDisability and autistic people from the outdated laws in the #MentalHealthAct. 1/3

The fallout from the pandemic and a cost of living crisis have led to people struggling with their mental health, with many self-harming. So we welcome this promised step towards making sure people get the support they need via @Independent @MindCharity independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Coming to you this Friday with some good news 📢 We’ve been fighting a court case. The case was about a worrying change to the way mental health hospitals decide if they can limit someone's freedom or overrule their treatment choices. Yesterday we found out - we won 🏆1/6

by far my favourite @MindCharity news story of the year.

Deeply concerning revelations by @Independent highlighting the mental health crisis we currently face. It is devastating that patients have been left in hospital for months when they could have been discharged to the community. independent.co.uk/news/health/me…
