"I believe that young people care about politics and engagement on every level is the democratic right of every UK citizen. Politics should not be a reserve for the wealthy. I also believe that each and every person has mental health. When mental health difficulties occur, people should feel comfortable seeking help, and support should be readily available." - Sam Ward
The objective of our proposal, to be released in early July, is for people with mental health problems, regardless of their age, ethnicity or any other characteristic to have swift access to holistic, integrated and evidence-based care for the biological, psychological and social issues related to their needs, in the least restrictive setting and as close to home as possible.
