We’re in a mental health crisis, but England doesn’t have the services needed to support patientswww.thecanary.co/investigation/2021/02/06/were-in-a-mental-health-crisis-but-england-doesnt-have-the-services-needed-to-support-patients/Mental health systems in England and Wales face a string of problems, not least of which is privatisation. As part of our #ourlivesourstories series, The Canary has spoken to a number of experts who told us that there are many issues blocking supportive and accessible care. Like many countries across the world, the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has made problems with mental health in England and Wales much worse. But the NHS’s mental health services were already underfunded and overstretched. However, funding isn’t the only problem. The actual services themselves have been criticised at great length. The implications are grave – if patients feel dismissed and isolated, how is that any marker of a good standard of care? How can patients be supported practically? Why aren’t they being supported? To answer some of these questions, The Canary spoke to a number of collectives that address these very areas.
