Check out this ino from Mental Health Reform so that you can have your say!
With upcoming elections on the horizon, we want to know what your
priorities are for mental health, both for the elections
(local/European/general) and the next budget cycle, Budget 2025
Each and every one of us deserves access to timely, high-quality mental
health services no matter where we live.
We need your
help to ensure that the Government makes mental health a priority for
Budget 2025.
We want to hear your views on mental health. What changes do you think
are needed? What do you think should be prioritised? Your answers will
help to shape our key manifesto asks and our pre-budget submission to
the Government.
Can you take two minutes to take our quick questionnaire?
Your insights will help to shape our submission to the
government in advance of Budget 2025. Now is the time for us to come
together and make our voices loud in the call for investment in mental
health services and supports.
The views and voices of service users, their families, friends, carers
and supporters are crucial to our work at MHR. In any engagement we
have with the government, the voice of lived experience is the most
meaningful. Your insights will help us to make a strong case for
greater investment in mental health in 2025.
What is a Pre-Budget Submission?
Every year, the government develops an annual Budget
that decides how much money they will allocate to public services and
programmes. We advocate for improved mental health services and
supports by sending the government a Pre-Budget Submission.
This document makes the case for what services people need, what
supports work, and how resources can be used to achieve better mental
health outcomes for the people of Ireland. You can read our submission
from last year here.
Together, we
can make a difference and help people to access the mental services and
supports that they need!
