Mental health
Our vision is a world in which no one is held back by mental health problems.
Our mission is to enable a step change in early interventions for anxiety, depression and psychosis.
We fund, commission and work with researchers and decision-makers to achieve this.
Funding research
We're funding research to better understand anxiety, depression and psychosis so we can find ways to intervene earlier. Embedding lived experience expertise is central to our mission.
Our independence means we're prepared to take risks with our research funding. If none of our funded projects fail, then we're not being brave enough.
Fostering collaboration
We bring together groups of researchers from different disciplines to find solutions to complex questions.
By breaking down silos we empower a more coherent and collaborative field where researchers have a common understanding of measures, approaches and concepts.
Advocating for policy change
We advocate for evidence-based approaches that improve global mental health. We do this by working with the private sector, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), charities, governments and affected communities.
Our Mental Health programme funds research to improve early intervention in anxiety, depression and psychosis. You may also be interested in our Discovery Research programme, which funds fields and disciplines seeking new knowledge on life, health and wellbeing, including all aspects of mental health.
