Great to see our WHOLE-SMI project cited in this report, recommending longer commissioning contracts, cross-sector workforce development and more person-centred care. Let's not miss this 'golden opportunity to transform community mental health services' #MentalHealthMatters
🚨The Government risks missing a golden opportunity to transform mental health services. We’re calling for the pilot of 24/7 Neighbourhood Mental Health Centres to be extended so data can support a national rollout. Committee Chair @LaylaMoran explains why this matters ⬇️
