Mental health and substance use needs are still treated separately, despite being deeply connected. This leads to fragmented care and poor outcomes. DHSC’s Delivery Framework sets out a vision for joined-up care. We’re launching training to help make it happen. Email training@thinkahead.org

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

I feel bad for admitting and saying this as there was so much suffering. 😢
But when we had to isolate during the pandemic, I managed okay. When in a bipolar depressive episode, I don’t go out or see anyone, live very basic etc.
So for once, I felt on par with everyone else, within my ‘normal’. 💭👤🧠
