Mental Health Foundation – Wales

Wales

Registered Charity No. 801130

Summary of aims & objectives:

We are working towards a world with good mental health, and ending the inequalities that face people experiencing mental health problems, living with learning disabilities or reduced mental capacity.

We develop and run research and delivery programmes across the UK that have, for more than six decades, given us the evidence and expertise to know what works and how to intervene earlier.

We use what we learn to help everyone by offering straightforward and clear information on every aspect of mental health and learning disabilities.

Our advice also helps people help the people they care about too – in their families, their communities or their work. We influence policymakers and advocate for changes in services, using firm evidence and the voices of people with direct experience of the issues.

Services:

In Wales we work with charities and the Welsh Assembly to advocate for change. We have developed self-management courses and peer support which have previously been piloted and evaluated with single parents and prisoners; and now with older adults. We are also currently working with Cardiff and the Vale UHB on an ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) resilience project.
