A privilege to attend the launch of Sir Norman Lamb’s Be More Human: Why Mental Health Care is Broken – and What We Can Do to Fix It. @normanlamb spoke powerfully not only as a former Health Minister and former Chair of South London and Maudsley, but as a brother who lost his sister to suicide. The book challenges a mental health system that can be fragmented, overly medicalised and focused on crisis, and makes the case for prevention, continuity, community, dignity and human relationships - asking not simply “what is wrong with you?” but “what matters to you?” Tonight we heard vivid accounts from those harmed by the current system alongside professionals pioneering a more humane way of delivering care and showing that another approach is possible. I wish more doctors could have heard what I heard tonight but they can still read the book! An important and deeply human book that deserves a wide audience.
