Health as a concept is holistic. Mental health and physical health are linked. However for many years, physical health has received more funding for research, more focus and therefore more developments in treatment.
Now, human rights are a part of the mental health agenda, and charities, like MQ and other advocates are calling for equality for mental health alongside general health. Parity is desperately needed in terms of funding and to close the gap between how those in physical health crisis are treated and those in mental health crisis are treated. MQ aims to have maximum impact by focusing our efforts on the substantial unmet needs within mental health. 35 of MQ’s 63 projects directly challenge inequalities in mental health and mental health research.
