What we aim to do

We put people with experience of mental health illness at the heart of what we do. We aim to:

• Change public attitudes, reduce stigma and misunderstanding
• Influence government policy and improve practice towards people with mental illness
• Provide support and help so that people can take control of their mental health and live full lives
• Make lives better for their families and friends

Our current activities

• Family and Carers’ support
• Independent Advocacy
• Children and Young Peoples’ services
• Peer support service
• Residential services
• Retail and therapeutic support

Our current priorities are

• Campaigning to tackle stigma, improve information and reduce misunderstanding
• Promoting good mental health in the workplace, making it core business for all employers
• Listening to young people, encouraging their participation and promoting greater understanding about the importance of supporting them from the earliest opportunity
• Half of all mental health problems have been established by the age of 15, rising to 75% by the age of 24

Where do we need to get to?

• Our goal is to mainstream good mental health and make it core business for all employers, schools and colleges
• Everyone is supported to have good mental health at work, no matter where they are on the spectrum
• People get appropriate support when they are experiencing a mental health problem
• “Open and supportive workplaces benefit everyone – employees, employers and the bottom line”
