Centre for Mental Health is a charity which aims to help to create a society in which people with mental health problems enjoy equal chances in life to those without.
We believe that people with mental health problems should not experience unfair barriers to a fulfilling life.
We carry out research, policy work and analysis to improve practice and influence policy in mental health as well as public services.
We aim to find practical and effective ways of overcoming those barriers so that people with mental health problems can make their own lives better with good quality support from the services they need to achieve their aspirations.
