             Wonderful to hear the words “improve the mental health provision for young people” in the plans for the new government’s early legislation #KingsSpeech @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @SKinnock @karinsmyth @COMICResearchUK @YoungMindsUK
          
           “It will ensure mental health is given the same attention and focus as physical health."🔥🔥🔥 We're excited by how prominent mental health was in today's #KingsSpeech. This is just the start. We'll keep pushing to make sure the new UK government delivers on these promises💪
