As good as #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is at highlighting the issue, people living with severe mental ill-health face challenges everyday and it is imperitive that they are and feel supported to live well and thrive in our communities 1/

Today I'm sharing data-driven illustrations from our WHOLE-SMI project highlighting the challenges and needs of people living with severe mental ill-health. These are based on words from our participants with lived experience and cannot be ignored. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @ejoliver.bsky.social
