Today is World Mental Health Day, a time to reflect on how we can all promote good mental health and treat people with mental distress fairly and with respect.About one person in three in Wales will experience some form of mental health problem every year, and a very few may face the frightening prospect of being detained for compulsory treatment under the Mental Health Act. This can be an extremely stressful and confusing time not just for the person affected but also for family and friends. The Legal Services Commission helps vulnerable people, including those in mental distress, to get advice via skilled and dedicated providers. This promotes social inclusion and is fundamental to social and legal justice.
