Head On Campaign: Britons United on Mental Health But Politics Lags Behind

Rethink Mental Illness joined over 20 organisations in launching 'Head On', a national campaign calling on the government to treat mental health with the same urgency as physical healthcare. New polling from the Wellcome Trust and More in Common found 75% of Britons want government to do more on mental health — a rare area of cross-party consensus. Campaigners including Alastair Campbell called on ministers to seize the political moment and develop a comprehensive plan for faster, fairer mental health care.
