About us

Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all, and that treats people with experience of mental distres fairly, positively, and with respect. The needs and experiences of people with mental distress drive our work and we make sure that their voice is heard by those who influence change. Our independence gives us the freedom to stand up and speak out on the real issues that affect daily lives. We provide information and support, campaign to improve policy and attitudes and, in partnership with other agencies, develop local services. We do all this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives, and play their full part in society.
