What our supporters tell us
People severely affected by mental illness deserve: the right support, quality housing, meaningful employment, good physical health, social connections, and judgement-free life.
That’s why Rethink Mental Illness exists. But are our services, helplines, and peer support groups achieving that for people?
We spoke to people we have supported to find out about their experience with us.
