Citizens UK and addressing community mental health, Robin Ince, film cuts and attention

Claudia Hammond on how citizens from Tyne and Wear came together to negotiate with political, business and public sector decision-makers to tackle mental health in the community.

Psychologist Prof. Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster is this week’s studio guest.
