This week NHS England and NHS Improvement, and Public Health England ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign – launched the Mental Health phase.
The campaign seeks to address the barriers that are deterring patients from accessing NHS services. The mental health phase focuses on encouraging people struggling with mental health issues like anxiety and depression to get help through NHS talking therapies, by referral from their GP, or by self-referral.
The ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign will help to reassure patients that they can receive care safely.
