🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.
This is worse than we feared.

Today at @centreformh.bsky.social we’re sharing our new briefing on the urgent need to improve support for people with both mental health and substance use difficulties. For too long, doors have been closed and people have been let down. It’s time to plan services with people’s real needs in mind.
🧵 People with both mental health and substance use difficulties are fighting a battle on two fronts. But they often face closed doors to care, unable to access services for one until they've dealt with the other. This has to change.

Dear Men,
We can’t begin to tackle the problem of declining men’s mental health until we start properly joining the dots - something that a lot of us seem unwilling or unable to do – I’m not quite sure which.
