Mental Health & Learning Disabilities Community of Practice

Investing in the Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism sectors is an investment in people and communities
The care and support provider landscape in mental health social care plays a vital role in keeping people well, safe, and connected. It delivers care and support to around 8 million people in England and Wales, including those often excluded from other services – such as racialised communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, older people, young people, and those with complex needs such as acquired brain injuries or Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities

What’s the opportunity?

Reform being undertaken by the government offers a window to raise awareness and push for long overdue investment in the mental health sector, particularly not for profit and charitable organisations. As the NHS and social care systems plan their next steps, it’s time to make sure the our diverse and vibrant sector is recognised as a key part of the solution to the mental health crisis experienced in England.
