Many thanks to Órlaithí Flynn MLA, Mark H Durkan MLA & Gerry Carroll MLA who have signed our Open Letter to the Health Minister calling for urgent action on the mental health crisis - a reduction in antidepressant prescribing, investment in community-based alternatives, and focus on ensuring real participation and choice.

In 2024, there were 290 registered deaths by su***de, while around 38% of adults responding to the 2024/25 Northern Ireland Health Survey reported concerns about their mental health. At the same time, one in five adults received at least one antidepressant prescription in 2024/25. Antidepressant prescribing is increasing annually, with disproportionately high rates among women and people living in deprived communities.

All six main political parties in the Assembly have already endorsed these calls. Now we need the Health Minister to turn those commitments into action.

Join us, Órlaithí, Mark H, and Gerry, sign the Open Letter here 👉 https://www.nlb.ie/take-action/give-5-letter

At the end of June, just a couple of weeks after so many of our friends and activists across Belfast were burnt out, displaced, or threatened from their homes by racist pogroms, members of PPR’s Take Back the City team travelled to Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

We learnt a huge amount about activists and grassroots community initiatives which were plugging the gaps in state support for the most marginalised communities, fighting systemic racism, poverty and housing inequality, and building alternatives from the ground up that directly meet their needs.

We need to address the root causes of distress, reduce antidepressant over-prescribing and invest in accessible, community-based alternatives, giving people clear information, real choices and a meaningful say in their support.

The Give 5: Steps to a Wellbeing Rights Framework offers a blueprint for change, with support from all six main political parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Now it’s time for the Health Minister to turn those commitments into action!

This week, The Detail revealed that Stormont ‘heatmapping’ exercises found that 1 in 6 electoral wards across NI were unsafe for the Home Office to house asylum seekers…

Adding to that the areas where they had “reservations” about housing people, and you’re left with just over half of NI deemed safe for asylum seekers to live.

Is this all we expect from the authorities, to map out these areas of increased threat and violence and then abandon the people who live there? Can we allow those who facilitate racist violence to control who gets to live in their communities?

Do we accept these ‘Red’ and ‘Amber’ zones as permanent, or do we ask how we can remove these threats of violence and strive to make everywhere a ‘Green’ zone?

New Script for Mental Health welcomes the new MHRA safeguards, which follow an extensive review prompted by concerns from patients and families about how antidepressant risks are communicated. Read more here 👉 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mhra-introduces-new-safeguards-to-strengthen-antidepressant-safety-information-following-major-review

Massive well done to Stephen’s Voice, Antidepressant Risks, and so many more individuals and families who have campaigned relentlessly for these changes, which represent a significant step forward.

Changes include:

🔹 Clearer warnings about suicidal thoughts and behaviours.

🔹 Recognition of Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), including symptoms that can persist after treatment stops.

🔹 A new safety leaflet, expected in 2027, outlining the risks and benefits of antidepressants to support informed decisions.

How will the Department of Health and Health and Social Care Trusts ensure this information reaches GPs, pharmacists and, most importantly, patients and families without delay?

These new safeguards reinforce the urgent need for the Health Minister to implement the Give 5 framework across Northern Ireland, ensuring people have access to clear information and a wider range of support options.

Your voice matters. Change will come.

In September, and Take Back the City activist Sean Kane delivered this poem about the human reality of homelessness to a Housing Rights conference…

This morning, at our monthly housing clinic, we heard from people all over the city facing homelessness, intimidation, eviction, mould & damp issues, isolation, and much more.

We know the shocking numbers, with more than 50,000 households on the social housing waiting list, and 33,000 of those experiencing homelessness. But we also know there are personal stories behind each one of those numbers, something that Sean reminds us so powerfully in this poem! 🏠
