Reflecting on the strides made in mental healthcare throughout 2023 fills us with hope and inspiration, especially as we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. From policy changes in Congress supporting better reimbursements for licensed professionals to the increased recognition of the invaluable role played by peer-support specialists and community healthcare centers, our nation celebrated numerous accomplishments. Yet, amid these victories, a sobering reality remains—many Americans still grapple with limited access to crucial mental health care services. Despite our advancements in knowledge and advocacy for mental health treatment, the persistent shortage of qualified psychiatrists nationwide continues to hinder progress. As we move forward into 2024, let's build upon the momentum of 2023's achievements and redouble our efforts to address the root causes of mental health access challenges. Together, through continued collaboration, innovation, and dedication, we can ensure that every individual in need receives the compassionate and effective care they deserve.

Mental health hasn’t featured very much in this general election campaign, especially when you consider how important it is to voters and how important an issue it is. But it will be a major area of concern for the new #government, whoever that may be on July 5. And a big question will be how we can improve access to treatment for service users. In the first part of our three-part #webinar series on mental health waiting times, we looked at the importance of accuracy in enabling Trusts to understand the extent of their waiting lists more clearly. In part 2, which will feature Acumentice’s Michael Watson and Joanna Hillier, Chief Clinical Information Officer at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, the focus will be on how to manage waiting lists effectively, cutting the time it takes for people to be seen. The webinar will take place on Tuesday 23 July at 12pm, and you can sign up for your space here: https://lnkd.in/eNuAmZFp

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Racial and ethnic minorities often suffer from poor mental health outcomes due to the cultural stigma and lack of access to mental health care services. Throughout the month, the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) will focus on promoting tools and resources addressing the stigma about mental health. This month, use #MinorityMentalHealthAwareness to spread the message of challenging stigmas and advocate for equitable and inclusive mental healthcare.
