We bring together research, information and advice, service development and policy in one organisation.
Research and practical evaluation lie at the heart of everything we do. This evidence-based approach helps us to recognise the key issues affecting the nation’s mental health and wellbeing. We use this knowledge to:
We focus on everyone’s mental health and we work across all age ranges and all aspects of mental health - young people, adults as well as older people – whatever their condition or circumstance. Key to all our work is a passionate commitment to service user and carer involvement.
We don't conduct research to sit on shelves. Our knowledge, informed by rigorous research and practical based study, has been pioneering change for more than 60 years and we aren't afraid to challenge the status quo or tackle difficult or under researched issues.
We deliver change and help empower people to make real changes in their lives.
