In England, our programmes aim to change our understanding of mental health problems and improve the short and long term future of society’s mental wellbeing.
Our policy and advocacy work calls on national and local government to reduce the factors known to pose a risk to people’s mental health, enhance those known to protect it and create the conditions needed for people to thrive.
We are passionate about the transformative power of research to create change in people’s lives, their communities and workplaces, and in services and policy.
Forming a family and parenting is an important part of life, with many changes taking place. Both mothers’ and fathers’ mental health may be affected during this transition, which may influence their child’s mental health.
