Together we can make a difference for mental health

Welcome to the National Centre for Mental Health

1 in 4 people are affected by mental health problems each year. We’re working to learn more about what causes these problems, from our environment and life experiences to our genetics and biological makeup.

By understanding the causes, we can work to develop better diagnosis, treatment and support for the future.

We’re building a research community

Join our mental health research community today and be part of something that will make a difference for future generations.

Registration takes just 20 minutes and you’ll be part of a community helping researchers to understand the causes and treatment of mental health problems.

Our Research Champions

Our Champions come from all walks of life, and they’ve all got their own stories to tell. Find out how their lives have been affected by mental health, why they’re passionate about our research, and how they’re helping us challenge stigma.
