The World Health Organisation in 2022 issued this statement as part of World Mental Health Day - "Growing social and economic inequalities, protracted conflicts, violence and public health emergencies affect whole populations, threatening progress towards improved well-being".
The following year, the WHO further emphasised that mental health is a basic human right for all people. Everyone, whoever and wherever they are, has a right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. This includes the right to be protected from mental health risks, the right to available, accessible, acceptable, and good quality care, and the right to liberty, independence and inclusion in the community.
So why is access to mental health services across communities so different? Join Sarah Mills, a DEI specialist, and Simon Nichols as they talk us through why they think this disparity exists.
