Mental Health Act reforms are now law. 📣

The changes aim to improve dignity, choice and fairness in mental health crisis care, while addressing long-standing inequalities.

This is an important step forward. Real change will depend on sustained investment in mental health and addiction services, including prevention, dual-diagnosis care and community-based support.
