Dear friend,
It’s been a busy month as we published Invest in childhood, a report I authored which highlights the importance of expanding prevention measures for babies, children and young people, including health visiting, school nursing, employment and housing support. In it we call for a cross-government mental health strategy and a national programme of community-based initiatives in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
We’ve also been highlighting our concerns about how the recent Supreme Court ruling will impact the mental health of trans people. In this blog, a guest writer shares a devastating account of what this means for her life. And I’ve written about how the ruling fits into a broader picture of hostility and hate which is harming LGBTQ+ people’s mental health, setting out the action needed to tackle these injustices.
Looking for a new challenge? We are seeking an economist to help manage our research team and enhance our reputation in mental health economics. Could this be you? Find out more and apply here.
