🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 The UK government is modernising the Mental Health Act to give patients more choice and rights, ensuring mental health has equal parity to physical health. Key changes include revised detention criteria, quicker reviews, and more patient empowerment. 🏥💪 Plus, better care pathways for those with learning disabilities and autism. 🌟 A huge step forward for mental health care! 🧠✨ Let's celebrate this change together! 🎉 However, we are still asking for further funding to ensure these changes can be implemented properly. 💙 #MentalHealthReform #OxfordshireMind

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! In 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives first designated the observance as “Bebe Moore National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month” in honor of the African American novelist’s groundbreaking work to change the way we approach mental health in underserved communities. Today, racial and ethnic minorities continue to face barriers to mental health care, including cultural stigma, lack of access to culturally competent care, and systemic inequalities. These challenges can exacerbate mental health issues, making awareness, education, and advocacy all the more crucial. The #DCGTeam develops mental health outreach campaigns that do just that on behalf of our federal government clients. Join us in raising awareness about mental health equity and inclusivity.
