Are we in a mental health crisis?

New research released today by Finbogo, during Mental Health Awareness Week, has revealed the depth of the UK’s growing mental health crisis.

Findings show that more than 14 million UK adults have sought mental health support in the last five years.

Yet, 24% admitted they didn’t know where to start when they recognised they needed help, and one in three, over 4.5 million people, confessed that accessing support through the NHS was difficult.

Aston spoke to Mahin Hamidi, registered therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
