Mental Health Foundation
The Mental Health Foundation [1] is a UK charity that informs and influences the development of evidence-based mental-health policy at the national and local government level. It helps people to access information about the steps they can take to look after their own mental health and empowers people to take action when problems are at an early stage. This work is informed by the Mental Health Foundation’s long history of working directly with people living with or at risk of developing mental-health problems [2]. The Teenage Mental Health: Peer Support in Schools project, for instance, is an ambitious pilot scheme aimed at ensuring every school identifies and implements better practice to safeguard children’s mental-health. The scheme aims to educate young people about mental-health issues such as teenage eating disorders and self-harm, working with children to improve their understanding and use of self-help techniques, including offering and receiving peer support [3].
