Greater access for all:
promoting good mental health
Mental Health services were already stretched and under-resourced in much of the world before the global pandemic hit. The new, uncertain circumstances we now live in are affecting people’s emotional wellbeing, making it more vital than ever for everyone to be able to access the support they need.
To mark World Mental Health Day, we’re sharing free research, author insights and interviews with people in our community about making mental health for all a reality. Read, share and tell us about your research on mental health and wellbeing. Together we can make a difference.
Free access to our publications, & author videos
Our publications have content on mental health and support services that we would like to share with you. We have a range of videos from our authors and some articles freely available until the end of November.
