Inequalities have a huge impact on mental health, why are we so bad at doing something about it?

Catch up on this panel discussion from the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health Conference held at Science Gallery London on 1 October 2024.
PANEL DISCUSSION: We know inequalities matter and have a huge impact on mental health, why are we so bad at doing something about it?
As the UK’s major political party conferences take place, we bring together expert panellists and our audience to unpack the causes of inequalities in mental health outcomes in the UK and how these disparities can be addressed.
Drawing on the latest findings from our Centre’s research, we invite panellists and audience to consider this question: we know inequalities matter and have a huge impact on mental health, why are we so bad at doing something about it?
Speakers: Claudia Hammond - broadcaster, author and psychology lecturer, presenter of All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 (Chair), Kwajo Tweneboa - social housing campaigner and artist, Will Snell - Chief Executive of the Fairness Foundation, Andy Bell - Centre for Mental Health, Omari Hunte - Programme Officer, BIGKID Foundation, and Centre for Society and Mental Health researchers Karen Glaser and Cassie Lovelock
