Rethink

is the leading national mental health membership charity, works to help everyone affected by severe mental illness recover a better quality of life.

We were founded over 30 years ago to give a voice to people affected by severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and today, with around 10,000 members, we remain determined that this voice will be heard. We help over 52,000 people every year through our services, support groups and by providing information on mental health problems.

Our aim is to make a practical and positive difference by providing hope and empowerment through effective services, information and support to all those who need us. We believe that all those who experience severe mental illness are entitled to be treated with respect as equal citizens.

We carry out research which informs both our own and national mental health policy and actively campaign for change.

As a partner in the Time to Change programme we are dedicated to creating a world where mental health discrimination is eliminated.
