The Taskforce on Mental Health in Society is an independent taskforce that met from Spring 2013 to
Autumn 2014. The Chair was Sir Stephen O’Brien and the Deputy Chair was Liz Meek.
The Taskforce was established by Ed Miliband in his speech to the Royal College of Psychiatrists in late 2012, and was asked to set out
a roadmap for how society needs to change to prevent mental health problems and promote good mental health and to look at how we can support fuller integration into the wider community of those affected by or recovering from mental health
problems
