Mental health depends on our social and family experiences, and also on the fact that we’re complex biological organisms, who respond in different ways to events.
This means that we approach all our projects with this integrated understanding, and have undertaken work on topics as diverse as:
- nutrition
- exercise
- alcohol
- family situations
- parenting
- schools
- acute services
- early intervention
- cultural diversity.
We aim to lead the way in helping the general public to understand and manage their own mental health.
We do our own research, and generate new findings that inform our policy, service development and campaigns work.
The Mental Health Foundation is independent of any one stakeholder group, funder or way of looking at mental health and wellbeing.
We do not provide direct services, and we are not a membership organisation. More than 80% of our funding comes from private donations, rather than public money. We work hard to protect our independence.
We work across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Our work covers children, adults of working age, and people in later life. More information about our work
