URGENT: Mental Health Funding at Risk Local menta URGENT: Mental Health Funding at Risk Local mental health services are at risk of losing crucial funding. The government is considering removing the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS) - a vital guarantee that ensures fair funding for local mental health services. This decision would be a devastating step backwards for millions of people relying on support, especially when waiting lists are already overwhelmed. 💙Please take action now to protect mental health funding: 👇Visit the @mindcharity page or visit this link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DDbnqd_NMr2/?hl=en 👍Like, share, and comment to show your support.
