Dear friend,
Hope you’ve had a chance for a well-earned break over these summer months.
Tragically, we know that people with severe mental illness face a 15-20 year shorter life expectancy – largely the result of poorer physical health. But they also face major barriers to the fitness activities which could reduce this gap. Our new research sets out how we can overcome the barriers to tackle this injustice, and a blog from Hannah Moore on her own experiences brings to life many of the report's findings.
As the Government introduces its vision of a Neighbourhood Health Service, we’re clear that this can only be achieved if mental health is at the heart of the model. We’ve set out how to make that a reality in our new resource.
As ever, all of this work is only possible with your ongoing support. To help us in the fight for social justice in mental health, please consider donating today.
