About us
Mental Health Foundation is the only UK charity solely focused on preventing poor mental health and building and protecting good mental health.
Mental health is one of the most important foundations for a healthy and long life, and we believe everyone deserves good mental health.
No-one living in the UK should be deprived of the opportunity for good mental health because of who they are, the community they come from or where they live.
Poor mental health is not inevitable. There are things we can do as individuals, in our communities and across society to help us all to live with good mental health.
We’re challenging the way things are done and creating fundamental change in the UK’s approach to mental health by:
- Researching and developing new and more effective ways to support good mental health
- Providing everyone with evidence-backed advice and resources they can trust
- Running national campaigns and working with local communities to nurture good mental health
- Working with organisations across the UK and influencing decision-makers at all levels, to take the valuable lessons we’ve learned and adopt solutions that are proven to work.
- We work across the four nations of the UK with offices in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and London.
We are the home of Mental Health Awareness Week.
