- Researching, developing and advocating for new and more effective ways to support and protect good mental health
- Running national campaigns and providing everyone with evidence-backed advice and resources
- Partnering with organisations across the UK and taking the valuable lessons we’ve learned and sharing solutions that are proven to work

What prevention means and how it can help
There are lots of things that influence our mental health, such as our history and social circumstances.
While it isn’t possible to stop all mental ill-health from developing, many mental health problems can be prevented with the right approach.
