Rethink Mental Illness is a charity that believes a better life is possible for millions of people affected by mental illness. For 40 years we have brought people together to support each other. We run services and support groups that change people's lives and challenge attitudes about mental illness.

We directly support almost 60,000 people every year across England to get through crises, to live independently and to realise they are not alone. We give information and advice to 500,000 more and we change policy for millions.

Rethink's main website provides access to further information including the contact details of services or groups in your area. Expert practical advice and information on issues that affect the lives of people living with mental illness is available through the charity's National Advice Service.

The helpline is available Monday to Friday 9:30am to 4pm.
