Strangford - Mental Health

Mental Health Services should be restructured
Mental Health Services require additional funding
The Suicide Prevention Strategy needs to be fully delivered
There should be fully funded treatment & research of psilocybin-assisted therapy for mental disorders such as treatment-resistant depression & major depressive disorder
There should be fully funded mental health wellbeing centres as an alternative to psychiatric wards
All workplaces must have Mental Health First Aiders
Greater education is required about mental health issues in schools, further education environments and workplaces
Comments
  • "All workplaces must have Mental Health First Aiders" Great idea! Just as long as govt are willing to give the smaller businesses grants
  • I need more evidence on psilocybin-assisted treatments Sadly we do need psychiatric inpatient wards to help people in crisis
