Help The Mental Health Foundation

A gift of £20 can help them to identify and reach families who need help most. For families who are struggling with the stigma and secrecy of mental illness, information packs can be a lifeline. They can help families to understand what their loved ones are going through and tell people where to go for help. Just knowing that they are not alone can help prevent someone taking their own life.

They do this by:

  • learning what makes and keeps people mentally well.
  • researching what will lessen the impact that mental illness has on someone’s everyday life, their relationships with their family and friends, and their opportunities for education and employment.
  • communicating findings to a wide range of people.
  • turning research into practical solutions that make a difference to people's lives.

The Mental Health Foundation's aim is to lead the way in helping everyone to understand and look after their own mental health.

About The Mental Health Foundation

The Mental Health Foundation is independent of any one stakeholder group, funder or way of looking at mental health. More than 80% of their funding comes from voluntary donations. They reach millions of people every year through their work with the media, encouraging a better understanding of mental illness. Their website www.mentalhealth.org.uk is the most comprehensive source of mental health information in Europe. With over 2.5 million people visiting our website every year they are expert at reaching the people online who need our help.

They also send out more than 100,000 booklets every year to help people looking for more information, for themselves or loved ones, who are experiencing mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and self-harm.

In everything The Mental Health Foundation do they work with people who have had mental health problems and use their experiences to improve the support available.
