Rethink Mental Illness

No matter how bad things are, Rethink Mental Illness helps people severely affected by mental illness to improve their lives. 

As a leading charity provider of mental health services in England, they are on a mission to bring about meaningful change to the 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 they do. Their insight shapes the charity’s advice, information, and its 200 groups and services - from housing and employment support to carers’ services and legal advice. Their passion and courage drive Rethink Mental Illness’s campaigns to change the law and challenge discrimination. And the richness and diversity of their experiences help ensure the charity’s services are accessible to everyone, whatever their background or identity. 

People severely affected by mental illness can have a good quality of life. 

Philippa Lowe, carer and former Chair of Rethink Mental Illness:

"As a charity that was created by carers like myself, to improve the lives of people severely affected by mental illness, we're proud to be part of Carer's Week. It's important to us that we're there to help anyone that's feeling the strain, and carers, family, and friends all give so much of their time in the support of others that it often comes at the cost of their own mental and physical wellbeing. This week gives us all the chance to recognise the great work that carers do."
