About us

Since 1949, the Mental Health Foundation has been leading the UK in building good mental health. Together, we can help everyone have better mental health.

We know poor mental health is not inevitable and we believe that everyone deserves good mental health. We want to build a society where everybody can thrive.

We’re challenging the way things are done so that no-one living in the UK is deprived of the opportunity for good mental health because of who they are, the community they come from or where they live.

We are the home of Mental Health Awareness Week.

What we do

We’re challenging the way things are done and creating fundamental change in the UK’s approach to mental health by:

Researching and developing new and more effective ways to support and protect good mental health.
Providing everyone with evidence-backed advice and resources.
Running national campaigns and working with local communities to nurture good mental health.
Partnering with organisations across the UK to take the valuable lessons we’ve learned and share solutions that are proven to work.
