These are important figures. Violence clusters. It's sometimes easy to ignore, but we shouldn't. Mental health clusters. Most were NOT known to mental health services. These are system wide and interconnected issues.
Aspire is an initiative helping to build the coping mechanisms & resilience of boys & men on the edge of the justice system. We found: - 94% experienced paramilitary intimidation & violence - 94% showed evidence of mental health issues, with 50% having a mental health diagnosis.

The findings highlight the need to: improve waiting times, expand non-pharmacological interventions, deliver the Regional Mental Health Service incorporating Primary Care MDTs, the C&V sector & Statutory services. Thanks @NicoleBond02 & @pmd_15 for all your work on this!

The issue we hear about the most from young people is #MentalHealth, which is why it’s the first action on our ‘Mini Manifesto’. Political parties need to take short and long term action to address this crisis!

We remember the many thousands of families in NI affected by cancer. The mental health consequences are a huge added burden, as Colleen & @macmillancancer highlighted so eloquently yesterday. The pathways for change have been designed. Let's make it happen.

The mental health impact of cancer can be profound -waiting for a diagnosis & treatment adds to the torment. The Cancer Strategy is the roadmap for improvement, it includes key actions on psychological services. It must be implemented in full - £145 million annually 🧵.
