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.

Stories from our communities
Found in more and more workplaces, mental health first aiders are ordinary members of staff who have been trained to spot the signs of mental illness, and to guide colleagues to the help that they need. We spoke to two of our own mental health first aid team about their roles and the importance of being able to access support for good mental health at work.
