Health Dialogue

Inside the frontline of the mental health crisis

Health Dialogue - Isssue 18, November 2021. In our recently released report What Price Mental Health? The Crisis and the Cure, ASMS details the story of rising demand, reduced bed capacity and clinically stressed services. What is less well known is how those who provide these crucial mental health services are faring. We know that along with the majority of the public health workforce, psychiatrists continue to put their own personal wellbeing on the line to ensure high quality mental health services are provided to those who need it. But they are struggling.
