Rethink Mental Illness is the charity for people severely affected by mental illness. They are at the heart of everything we do.

Online, over the phone and face-to-face, we provide services that support and empower people to live and thrive independently in their communities. Every day, we help thousands of people to learn more about specific mental illnesses and treatments, understand their rights and access support that focuses on their wider physical health, financial, housing, work and volunteering needs.

We also provide local peer support groups across the country to help people living with mental illness and their carers support each other, grow in confidence and take greater control of their lives.

We campaign on a local and national level to ensure people severely affected by mental illness are listened to, treated fairly and have access to the health and social care services they need.

And we work with a wide range of organisations, including the NHS and local authorities, to create communities that care for the wide range of people we support.

Informing and shaping all our work are people severely affected by mental illness. They are the ones who know best what they need and what must change.
