1 in 4 people in the UK has experienced a mental health problem. We won’t stop until everyone has the tools they need to live their best possible life.
We are the charity for everyone’s mental health.
We challenge the causes of poor mental health and give people the tools they need to live their best possible life at home, school, and work.
In a rapidly changing world, Mental Health UK brings together the heritage and experience of four charities from across the country who’ve been supporting people with their mental health for over 50 years.
Working UK-wide, we deliver both national and local services that enable and empower people to understand and manage their mental health in a person-centred and empathetic way.
With our local service delivery and national expertise in supporting people whose lives are affected by mental health problems, we have been able to mark a significant footprint in the areas that deeply challenge our mental health and stability.
We provide support and services for some of the biggest societal challenges that pose a threat to people’s mental health, including money problems, navigating through the system to get the right support, understanding mental health, loneliness and isolation, and resilience in young people.
We understand the interconnectedness of mental health, and are dedicated to identifying areas where we are able to offer the best support. Our programmes aim to address the core threats to mental health within the realms that we spend much of our lives — home, school and work. Through this framework, we can clearly tailor our support offering and provide services for everyone, no matter where they are on their journey through their life.
