Parity of Esteem Mental health care accounts for NHS 13% of spending, whilst mental illness is responsible for 28% of all morbidity in England
Some Risk Factors for Suicide (men) • Mental Illness • Socio economic (unemployment, sickness absence, deprivation) • Retirement & “challenges of mid-life” • Recent hospitalisation • Not talking or seeking help • Relationship breakdown/being single • Notions of masculinity • Personality factors
Our approach • People with lived experience leading change (national campaign, within employers, local ‘contact’ based activities) • Peer-led empowerment • Social marketing and social contact • Not awareness but action/behaviour (being supportive instead of discriminating, talking, help-seeking) • Talking (tailored approaches between genders, ethnicities, and age) • Employment focus – cross-sector
