Mental health

Councils support and influence mental health and wellbeing in a myriad of ways. We need to move away from just focusing on mental illness to helping everyone stay mentally well. This means overhauling our attitudes and approach to mental health and mental health services, increasing investment in prevention, early intervention and life-time support.
