Alcohol and Mental Health

Every year the Mental Health Foundation campaigns to raise awareness about the mental health of the general population.

Our report focuses on the powerful links between alcohol and mental health, and adds to the debate about why people drink alcohol.

We want individuals to think about why they drink and how alcohol affects their emotional and mental well-being.

We are calling on Government to change alcohol and mental health policy and practice.
