The inequalities we're highlighting - which make some more likely to experience mental health problems and less likely to access good help - are a stain on our society. Enough is enough. #EqualityInMentalHealth

"For older people who can’t afford private treatment, when that physical health problem becomes a mental health problem, the assistance isn’t there – or if it is, then it's almost impossible to get access to it." Christine's story: centreformentalhealth.org.uk… #EqualityInMentalHealth

Poor mental health in the #Deafcommunity is so common. Getting the appropriate help is extremely difficult. Therapist often talk in a low whisper tone. There aren't many therapist that use use #signlanguage. There aren't many #deaftherapists. #MentalHealthMatters

As a deaf person, Richard struggled for decades to get effective mental health support. He had to rely on lipreading as an inpatient and outpatient, with no additional support. Here, he shares his story: centreformentalhealth.org.uk… #EqualityInMentalHealth

Wow @stevegilbertmh This is powerful in @MensHealthUK Did you see? @Kadra_A_ #BlackMindsMatter Look @MH_Equality menshealth.com/uk/mental-str…

Black Minds Matter

Black British men are four times more likely than white men to be hospitalised for poor mental health, and are less likely to seek help before they reach crisis point. The system in place to support...

Important warning from @maryohara1 on what happens when children in poverty are shamed for this; the lifelong mental health harm this & other ‘hidden’ injustices in schools have been raised in our @MH_Equality Commission too, reporting next month
Mary O'Hara@maryohara122 Oct 2020
In 2017 I wrote this in @SocietyGuardian on lunch shaming of school kids in the US. theguardian.com/society/comm… This is where demonising people in poverty - including children - can lead. I write about it in my book The Shame Game. Access to #FreeSchoolMeals without stigma is vital.

Lunch-shaming in schools has no place in the battle against child poverty | Mary O’Hara

Attacks on the poorest families in society rest on a deeply flawed narrative that we can’t afford them, yet we can still line the pockets of the rich with tax cuts

Important thread on what social security should be here for. A key theme in our @MH_Equality Commission reporting next month
Child Poverty Action Group@CPAGUK25 Oct 2020
What’s our social security system for? At CPAG, we think it should prevent and reduce poverty, provide income security and promote social solidarity. We want to hear from you what you think would achieve these aims? [thread]
