Today, Mental Health Reform met with Minister for Health, Simon Harris TD. During the teleconference, we raised the concerns of our 75 member organisations working in mental health services and supports, how the pandemic is placing significant burden on peoples mental health, and the need to publish the refresh of the national policy for mental health (A Vision for Change) to ensure cohesive response plan in programme for government.
Minster Harris tweeted today “Thank you to @MHReform for meeting with me today via videoconference. A really good discussion on mental health issues & key next steps we need to take. Conscious of the mental health impact of #Covid19“
