Readily available mental health services for everyone. We need to be more creative in using resources that are available but not as yet formally adopted by the NHS. For example - using recently graduated psychology students to play a "first pass" role in at least allowing those seeking help to communicate directly with a person who could be trained to help in the first instance. I would recommend those recruited to help must have an empathetic leaning as well as a professional attitude. The mechanisms available to the "first pass" role must be clearly identified and workable - but if no referral is possible in the immediate future then at least the "patient" will have had time with someone who has hopefully allowed them to clarify their thinking.
