Mental health support isn’t equal. People from racialised communities face worse outcomes and unfair treatment. The UK government needs to go further to stamp out racism in the Mental Health Act for good These stats below are from England only. 1/6

We’re seeing a lot of racist rhetoric in the UK right now, including against refugees and asylum seekers. That feels frightening and exhausting - especially for those of us from racialised communities. Seeing this so close to home can be scary. And it can take a toll on our mental health.

Despite huge opposition from disabled people and the charities who represent them, the UK government’s benefits bill passed its 3rd and final reading in the House of Commons on Wednesday night. 1/7

Pls respect my boundaries 💙 Anything you’d add?

What happened with the benefits bill in parliament last night? And why we’re urging MPs to vote down the 3rd reading of this bill on 9th July... 1/ 10

We hear you and we agree the concessions are not enough. We need MPs to vote down the Bill. Here's what we know so far. 1/ 10

New official data shows that mental health in England continues to get worse. Yeah we know - we've been shouting this from the rooftops for years. 1/3

Say it louder for those at the back 📢 These proposed benefit cuts are dangerous and are only going to make things worse. We need to be supporting people with mental health problems, not plunging them into poverty. 1/2

What the UK government is proposing is short-sighted and harmful to many disabled people. Plans to remove or reduce PIP for people with mental health problems will push many into poverty. It will worsen people's mental health and make it harder to enter or stay in work. 1/3

Behind every benefit cut is a real person, a real life. Someone forced out of work. Someone struggling to make ends meet. We can't reduce people to numbers on a spreadsheet. 1/6

“I am large, I contain multitudes” (from ‘Song of Myself’ by Walt Whitman). People rarely experience emotions one at a time – and sometimes what we feel can seem contradictory. It’s a normal part of being human – embrace your complexity 💙

In today’s spending review, the UK govt reiterated its commitment to mental health support in schools & announced £29 billion for the NHS. These are great steps forward. Now we want to see this NHS investment leading to genuine improvements in mental health services - not just physical health. 1/5

This thread discusses suicide, please read with care 💙 Jodey had complex mental and physical health needs. Instead of being supported, she was told she was “fit for work” in a letter that arrived after Jodey died. Her story is heartbreaking. But it’s not the only one. 1/5

and don’t you forget it! 🥺

In case you needed to hear this, rest is productive. Pass it on 💗

There's still time for the UK government to reconsider its benefit cuts. To reframe the question and ask itself how it can lift disabled people out of poverty. 1/4

Just one week to go until Mental Health Awareness Week and this year we’re highlighting that mental health is connected to everything. That means any way you choose to spread the word this Mental Health Awareness Week will make a difference. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW

Just a gentle reminder for those on antidepressants in this heat 🔥 Not everyone knows this, so please share to spread the word ❤️

Let’s be real – the facts are the real victims here. They keep being overlooked in favour of fuelling culture wars. 1/3

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling will feel heavy for many of us - especially the trans community. The mental health toll of public debate, constant scrutiny in the media, and legal decisions like this is profound. For trans people, this isn’t just political or legal. It’s personal. Exhausting. 1/4

Mental Health Awareness Week is just over a month away 📅 This year, we’re bringing awareness to the fact that mental health is everything. It’s more than just a small part of our lives. It’s connected to every little thing we do, every place we go and every person around us.

While stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can result in poor mental health, and poor mental health can result in stress. In #StressAwarenessMonth, here are a few things that may help ease some stress 💙

We know lots of you have been feeling heavy with the news about benefit cuts. It's not good enough. Our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won't help. Your words hold power. Will you email your MP, and make sure your voice is heard? 1/2 campaigns.mind.org.uk/page/169139/...

Seasonal affective disorder affects people differently at different times of year. Just because the days are getting brighter doesn’t mean you’re going to feel brighter. Sometimes it’s the opposite. Remember if you’re impacted by the changing season, you’re not alone 💙

Yesterday, the UK government confirmed that mental health spending as a share of the NHS budget fell last year in England - and is set to fall again next year. 1/3 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mental-health-nhs-funding-wes-streeting-b2723146.html

We understand the news about welfare cuts might feel overwhelming and scary right now. Please know you’re not alone. We’re fighting hard behind the scenes to challenge the government’s decisions. If you’re struggling, need support, or just need someone to talk to, we’re right here with you 💙📞

🧵The welfare cuts announced today mean people don’t know how they’ll survive. Some fear they’ll have no choice but to take their own lives. This government must take responsibility for the impact of the Spring Budget on the mental health crisis. 1/5 #SpringStatement

“Their voices unheard, this is never ok, Parliament please I beg you to show them the way.” At our exhibition in Parliament earlier this month, India reads her poem about being sectioned.

🧵 More than 40 years ago, Devon Marston was sectioned, restrained, and medicated against his will. His experience, and those of many others, expose deep racial injustices in mental health care. LINK - www.theguardian.com/society/2025... 1/6
