In England, people with severe mental illness (SMI) die 20-25 years earlier than the general population from preventable physical health diseases. The pandemic has put these people at an even greater risk. 

The simplest way to show your support is by spreading the word about the profound social and health inequalities observed in people with SMI. For example, keep visiting this website or follow the Closing The Gap twitter account to keep up-to-date with our study and to share our findings.
