We plan to launch a public discussion paper this year to inform the development of a new long term mental health strategy. This will discuss potential solutions at local and national level to improve mental health and wellbeing, including in women and girls.

‘Our Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England’ was published in December 2021 which commits to gather evidence on the impacts of trauma-informed practice to support the victims of violence against women and girls.
