It seems like the coalition's public service cuts are really starting to hit home now.

My colleague's at Community Care reported this week that some mental health trusts are planning to cut 15% of staff.

The cuts come despite government pledges to protect the NHS from cuts and make mental health a priority.

Not surprisingly, social workers are angry about the impact cuts will have on frontline services.

Meanwile, a new guide has been launched to help people with mental health problems deal with debt.
