Boost for mental health research
People with experience of mental health problems will be involved in research to develop more effective treatments, as part of an up to £50 million funding boost announced by the Government. This will make sure that the latest innovations in mental healthcare focus on solving the problems that could change their lives. This backing will help researchers who are applying science to help people manage their illness and prevent issues from escalating, with measures also planned to improve access to the UK’s medical research data and facilities.
