Building on the 30 plus year history we have of working with people experiencing mental health challenges and in systems designed to offer help and support, from the stories of over 9000 people a year we support and the 300 staff who offer support; based on established and emerging research and evidence (or lack of), we have created our Manifesto for change.

Our response to Senedd Health and Social Care Committee report, Connecting the dots: tackling mental health inequalities in Wales.

A blog from our CEO, explaining what we are doing as an organisation to create the deep change needed inside Platfform.

Kindness on its own doesn’t quite cut it for me. It glosses over the really tough stuff. The pain, the poverty, the generational unemployment, abuse, violence and structural inequality that many people face every day.

We don’t need policy tweaks or shifts. We need large scale transformation of mind-set and system.

I’m pointing out an uncomfortable truth.  A truth that I believe stands in the way of true transformational system change.
