Stigma Grows, Support Shrinks

A survey by the mental health charity Mind shows a rise in stigma towards individuals with mental health issues in England, with one in seven people now uncomfortable living nearby.
Support for community mental health services has decreased to 63%, down from 70% in 2015.
