Who we are

We are Rethink Mental Illness. No matter how bad things are, we can help people severely affected by mental illness improve their lives.

As a leading charity provider of mental health services in England, we’re on a mission to bring about meaningful change: to our health and social care system, to the way society views mental illness, and to people’s lives across the country. 

People affected by mental illness are at the heart of everything we do.  

Their insight shapes our advice, information, and around 200 groups and services – from housing to employment, carer support to legal advice. Their passion and courage drives our campaigns to change the law and tackle discrimination. And the rich diversity of their experience helps us make sure that our services are accessible to everyone – whatever their background or identity. 

We know people severely affected by mental illness can have a good quality of life. With your support, we will make that possible.
