ALT "Improving community-based care is a priority in the NHS 10 Year Plan. There is much to learn from global interventions like The Friendship Bench to help the NHS be ‘Fit for the Future’." Professor Melanie Abas, King’s College London
ALT "The Friendship Bench shows us how to deliver mental health care in local communities, within walking distance and provided by people who know their neighbourhoods. It also shows how services can reduce inequalities by being open to everyone, and the value of rapid, often same-day, access to care." Professor Melanie Abas, King’s College London
