The evidence is strong and persuasive regarding the link between austerity, health inequalities mental health morbidity and suicidal ideation and behaviour. There are 410 suicides in European countries everyday and in the UK there are around 5,000 suicides each year with a high proportion of those – around 90% from people – with a mental health problem or mental illness, often not diagnosed.

The session on the 19th will provide MHN practitioners the opportunity to participate in discussions on this important issue using presentation platform taken from the recent presentation given to the Horatio European scientific mental health nursing conference in Istanbul by Senior Lecturer in Mental Health Steve Hemmingway and MHNA Chair George Coxon.
