One crucial change we are requesting from the new government regarding mental health is:
Reform the Mental Health Act 1983 to ensure it is appropriate and effective for the modern era.
For more than five years, the Independent Mental Health Act Review's recommendations for modernizing the Mental Health Act have gone unimplemented. Despite extensive consultations, legislative screenings, white paper, draft bill, and scrutiny reports, the anticipated new legislation is still elusive.
Reform the Mental Health Act 1983 to ensure it is appropriate and effective for the modern era.
The call for reform is urgent, and the new Government must focus on action rather than mere rhetoric. The time for substantive change is now imperative!
"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation."
