Why, when we know so much about the social causes of mental distress, do we still invest so little in prevention? Why do we lean so heavily on medication, treat mind and body as separate problems, and meet crisis with coercion?

In this TaSC seminar, Sir Norman Lamb brings the questions at the heart of Be More Human into a room of therapists and colleagues. As a former Care Minister, former Chair of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and a long-standing campaigner for parity of esteem, he has seen the system from the inside. He will set out how community-first and more human approaches are already being tried, while inviting a practical conversation about what needs to change so that care becomes less institutional, less fragmented, and more worthy of the people who need it.
