About
The practical things we do
- Community and peer programmes; we test and evaluate the best approaches to improving mental health in communities and then roll them out as widely as possible.
- Research; we publish studies and reports on what protects mental health and the causes of poor mental health and how to tackle them.
- Public engagement; we give advice to millions of people on mental health. We are most well known for running Mental Health Awareness Week across the UK each year.
- Advocacy; we propose solutions and campaign for change to address the underlying causes of poor mental health.
What we don’t do
- We are not an academic think tank or research institute. We generate and apply evidence in real world settings.
- We are not a mental health service provider for when people are unwell.
- We don’t only focus on individual actions and steps – we look at both the personal and societal changes that can improve and protect everyone’s mental health.
