We think the government needs more NHS early intervention support services nationwide, in order to support people when they first notice the signs of poor mental health.

We feel that too often, people are being left to deteriorate with their mental health due to “not being sick enough” for services or due to lack of early intervention support available. Increasing these services could lower demand for inpatient beds and ultimately support people to prevent their mental health from deteriorating. we think early intervention services are vital and are necessary to support people’s emotional wellbeing.
