Just a quick one. Do have a look at our article about (and interview with) Rethink – the mental illness charity.
It’s on SocialCare.co.uk, and linked from our mental health jobs pages.
Rethink campaigns, and provides practical care for, anyone affected by severe mental illness in the UK.
As health care workers, or recruiters, you’ll be aware of the Government’s current efforts to put mental health illness on an equal footing with physical illness. You may have also read or heard in the news recently about the increased focus on speech / talk therapies and psychological therapies.
Arguably, if it wasn’t for the tenacious and organised campaigning by mental health charities like Rethink, the Government wouldn’t feel pressed to act on these issues.
If you’re unaware of what Rethink does, please do check out our interview.
