Mission Statement
Centre for Mental Health is an independent, not for profit thinktank. We are dedicated to eradicating mental health inequalities and fighting injustice by changing policy and practice.
About This Cause
Centre for Mental Health has over 30 years’ experience providing life changing research, economic analysis and evidence-based policy influence in mental health. Our work has expanded over time to include physical health, wellbeing, inequality and multiple disadvantage across the life course. Our Purpose We exist because too many people still dont receive the mental health support they need. Our People We are a dedicated group of international experts from backgrounds including lived experience, academia, services and policy. Our Approach We work side by side with people, services and decision makers using economic analysis, research and policy influence. Impact Our work drives change to make life better for people with mental illness, and creates the conditions for better mental health for all. Values and Beliefs We work across political, health and social boundaries, organisations and constructs; we are values led and inspired by difference and diversity; we know that even in the most established status quo change is possible if we make the best case. Our Five Goals 1. To secure a whole government strategy for mental health and neurodiversity, including housing, social security, health, business, justice, defense and the environment. 2. To enable national, local and regional government to deal with things we know make people ill, including poverty, racism, discrimination, exclusion, poor housing, and punitive welfare systems. 3. To ensure that every child has a fair chance in life. and secure an increase in investment into early years support. 4. To ensure that people with mental health difficulties and neurodiversity get quality and values-driven health and social care services. 5. To work within the criminal justice system to develop the best evidence for prevention, safe and secure prisons and resettlement to ensure people entering into the pathway have their mental and physical health needs met
