Mental Health Foundation welcomes Wellbeing Budget

The Mental Health Foundation says almost two billion dollars in the Budget for better services is mostly going to the right places. The spending will go towards setting up a new universal mental frontline service to help 325 thousand people with mild to moderate problems. The foundation's chief executive, Shaun Robinson, told RNZ reporter Karen Brown the whole package is needed, but in the long term he'd like more spending on building resilence in the community.
