We are committed to working in partnership with other leading mental health organisations, professional bodies, academic institutions and funding organisations.
Together we have a stronger voice, greater influence to shape policy and transform services and are able to make an even bigger difference to people's lives.
We are a leading partner in most of the major mental health coalitions in the UK but our work and influence also extends interntationally. We work regularly with the EU, WHO Europe, the Council of Europe, Mental Health Europe, EUFAMI and national Governments.
We're committed to partnerships wherever they will maximise effectiveness and impact.
