Picture yourself arriving at a hospital, your possessions confiscated for no apparent reason. Unfamiliar medications are administered and there's no explanation for your presence or the duration of your stay. This distressing situation is experienced by numerous individuals, including Belle, in #mentalhealth facilities. Watch Belle's powerful story about institutionalisation and the urgent need for policy changes to provide support. Everyone deserves respect, dignity, and quality mental healthcare. It's time for person-centred, community-based services that prioritise individuals on their recovery journey. 🌍 On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we are calling for supported mental health recovery paths that uphold human rights. Produced in partnership with European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) for #PeopleBehindTheNumbers, we invite you to watch this video on EPHA’s YouTube channel. ⤵️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/evdmpjns #WMHD2023 #MentalHealthMatters 💚 There are at least 1,438,696 people living in institutions in the EU, including people in mental health wards.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay , a day to acknowledge the significance of mental well-being. It's important to recognise that #mentalhealth has a multitude of meanings for people. For some, it's about managing stress and anxiety, while for others, it's about coping with depression or other mental health struggles. The meaning can also vary depending on cultural, social, and individual factors. This diversity of experiences underscores the importance of offering support and understanding without judgment and with human centred approach. "Everyone has a right to respect, dignity, and quality healthcare; including for mental health." #WMHD #MentalHealthMatters

While #MinorityMentalHealthMonth has concluded, the need for equitable access to mental healthcare persists. People of color face similar rates of mental health challenges compared to white Americans, yet are significantly less likely to receive treatment. Stigma, cultural barriers, and limited access to culturally competent services all contribute to this disparity. DWIHN is committed to closing this gap. We advocate for systemic change and provide culturally sensitive mental health services to Wayne County residents. Here's how you can make a difference: • Educate yourself: Learn about the mental health disparities faced by minority communities. • Advocate for change: Speak up for policies and practices that promote mental health equity. • Support organizations like DWIHN: Contribute your resources or volunteer your time to organizations that prioritize inclusion in mental healthcare. Let's work together to ensure everyone has access to the mental health support they deserve. #MentalHealthEquity #DiversityInMentalHealth #DWIHN

Great to see Mental Health Care for all being supported by NSW Health. It'll be great when accessible Mental Health Care is built into and funded for all people living with complex chronic diseases such as #IBD (Crohn's and Colitis) and other #IMIDs. Currently there are significant care gaps despite good evidence that Mental Health care improves patient outcomes, reduces hopsital care needs and saves money....... Why do we still see such delays in translating care into practice? Why are health funding models so refractory to change when new information arises?

Mental health must be a priority at this General Election. In the run up to election day, we’ll be stepping up our campaigning. We'll be highlighting the need for investment and action that will improve access to therapy and expand paid opportunities for therapists. We’ll continue to demonstrate why and how the next Government must increase funding for accessible mental health support in the NHS, schools, community organisations and workplaces.

Mental health accessibility is so important! The more I work with the populations I work with, the more I realize our mental health system in America is still broken. My hope for mental health help in the future, is that parents who have kids that are really struggling with mental health issues, won’t have to fight for support, but there will be better systems in place to address support. My hope is that interdisciplinary collaborative work between hospitals, agencies, and private practice will be a collaborative work, rather than a work against each other. My heart is empowering youth, to be able to learn how to tap into mental health supports, despite growing up with very few family supports. My heart is communities coming together to address the mental health needs of the community, so communities can heal. We fight for accessibility, because it should be every humans right to have mental healthcare! #accessibility #mentalhealth
