Mental health issues can arise from external issues such as systemic racism, stress and poverty, and sometimes they are unprovoked – either way those struggling with mental ill-health should have equal access to appropriate resources. The causes and effects of mental health should be appropriately handled by informed systems, not stigmatised, misunderstood and politicised. Transformative Justice would say that the State as it stands has no place in mental health, and that community resources must be adequately funded and trained to allow for root causes of mental ill-health to be addressed and systemic stigma and violence about mental health to be destroyed. However, community mental health resources in the UK have been continuously defunded, leaving the State responsible for handling mental health.
