Mental Health Policy

At Centre for Mental Health we want people facing or living with mental ill health to have a fairer chance in life. Our work has acted as catalyst to change the way government, public services, charities, employers and the media respond to mental health. But we have much more to do.

The Centre has a unique role to play. As an independent charity our mission is to inform policy and practice based on high-quality evidence, presented impartially, and often collaboratively.
