Rethink Mental Illness has published its Right Treatment Right Time 2025 report, which surveys people experiencing mental illness to provide regular snapshots of access to community mental health services in England. The report reveals the devastating impact of lengthy waits for treatment, with a higher proportion saying they had attempted suicide while waiting for support in the last 12 months.

This year’s survey of over 450 people experiencing mental illness or carers on their behalf paints a picture of worsening access to mental health support, with three in four (73%) feeling they did not receive the right treatment at the right time, up from 66% in last year’s report. Read the full report here: right-treatment-right-time-2025-report.pdf
