This report marks the start of a sustained programme of change to challenge discriminatory attitudes and significantly improve opportunities and outcomes for adults with mental health problems. This will mean people with mental health problems regaining hope and recovering control of their lives, whatever their diagnosis or ongoing symptoms. Government has an important role to play, but the active involvement of the voluntary and community sector,employers and, crucially, people with personal experience of mental health problems will be essential to achieve real change. The report features case studies of many successful local projects and the experiences of individuals who have overcome the challenges posed by mental health problems to lead fulfilling lives. These examples demonstrate what can be achieved and the benefits that result for individuals and society.
