Rethink Mental Illness

We are the largest voluntary sector provider of mental health services, with over 200 services in England. Founded 40 years ago through voluntary groups for people affected by mental illness, we have over 100 groups in England.

As experts in mental illness, we know that with the right support and information people severely affected by mental illness can have a good quality of life. That's why our aim is to meet each person's individual needs and make sure everyone living with a mental illness is treated with dignity and respect.

Our services and groups

We support tens of thousands of people every year through our diverse range of mental health services and life-changing support groups. These are vital in helping people get through crises, live independently and recognise that they don't have to face mental illness alone.

Our campaigns and policy

We listen to people with experience of mental illness about their needs and the changes that need to take place for them to lead a better life. We then campaign on a national and local level to raise awareness of the issues they face and secure change that will improve lives.
