In this article, Adam, Catherine, Duncan, and Mike explore mental health social care as an emerging and evolving field of practice and research within the UK\u2019s mental health landscape. They argue for recognising it as a distinct field, highlighting its strengths in addressing the social determinants that play a significant role in the development of mental illness and distress. The piece outlines key priorities for research, funding, and capacity building, and proposes that mental health social care should be developed as a distinct health and care research system.<\/p>\n
