‘…An important first step towards tackling the injustices facing women…’

The Women’s Mental Health Taskforce has set out its key principles for gender and trauma-informed care in the final report it released earlier this week.

Co-chaired by Health Minister Jackie Doyle-Price MP, and Katharine Sacks-Jones, Chief Executive of Agenda, the alliance for women and girls at risk, the taskforce was set up in 2017 following Agenda’s Women in Mind campaign, as evidence illustrated deteriorating mental health among women and the poor outcomes experienced by those using support services.
