He added: “The New Horizons vision is about promoting better mental health and wellbeing. It is also about high quality, responsive services, that intervene early and effectively to lessen the long-term effects of mental ill-health.
"Services that are focused not only on treatment outcomes, but on wider quality of life issues, strengthened by efforts to promote social inclusion and tackle stigma and discrimination of every kind.”
Peter Carter, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: “The chances are that everyone knows someone with a mental health issue, yet for far too long mental health has been hidden behind closed doors. Bringing the issue of mental health and wellbeing into the mainstream and making it everybody’s business is clearly a step in the right direction."
Plans to improve mental health must not sit on the shelf, Andrew McCulloch, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation, warned.
He said: “A key test for all these proposals will be their implementation. We know from the previous mental health strategy that only initiatives with a clear delivery plan get done.
“The idea of a youth mental health service is a good one. The transition to adulthood is when many mental health problems can become embedded. Most people with a mental health problem have been diagnosed by the age of 18. It’s much more sensible, not to mention cost effective, to help people stay well than pick up the pieces later on in life when their problems have become more serious."
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "The reading groups and allotments are examples of effective ways to promote mental wellbeing, we are not recommending that everyone in the country has access to these specific examples. Ultimately, the responsibility for commissioning mental health care and treatment rests with individual Primary Care Trusts."
USA Hopefuls Prove Themselves In Gold Cup
CHICAGO, Ill. - The U.S. Men’s National Team started the CONCACAF Gold Cup as the favorite in a sense, as the reigning two-time defending champion. But naysayers quickly turned up their noses when the roster was released. And now five games later… the USA is headed to the Final for the third consecutive year, and sixth time overall.They’ve done it all by doing one thing – playing their style of soccer.“We were confident in ourselves,” U.S. defensive midfielder Logan Pause said. “It was a different game this time, much tougher. We focused on ourselves and felt if we did the little things, we would have the advantage.”It’s worked effectively as the U.S. has collected a 4-0-1 record, while outscoring opponents 12-3. All-time in Gold Cup play, the USA has dominated opponents with a 36-4-5 record and outscoring them 85 to 26.This team was a younger team, lacking experience. But head coach Bob Bradley turned them into a winning combination. There were some close calls along the way, but all in all, the USA proved they
