One in four people experience mental ill health.

We don’t think it’s right that many people have difficulty accessing the services and support they need. Nor do we think it’s right that there is still a stigma that surrounds mental health, having a negative impact on people’s lives and leading to people being discriminated against purely because they are (or have been) unwell.

That’s why we lobby to improve mental health policy, practice and legislation, and campaign to increase public understanding of mental health and wellbeing.
