Parliament Street is pleased to announce the publication of A Quantitative Analysis of Community Mental Health Provision in England During Covid-19 and the Subsequent Impact on the Police
This research from Danny Bowman, Head of Campaigns at Parliament Street examines the accessibility of community mental health provision at the height of the pandemic (April 2020) and how the level of access to services may have affected the number of mental health incidents that English police forces were dealing with.
By analysing collected data for these two indicators, this research paper has been able to uncover key local, regional and national trends on the availability of mental health support during the pandemic and provide a thorough quantitative investigation into the relationship between the accessibility to mental health provision and police time spent on supporting individuals experiencing psychological distress.
