What is Prevention United?
We're a new mental health charity with big ambitions.
We believe mental health conditions are not inevitable.
Our mission is to join forces with individuals, families, organisations and communities to prevent mental health conditions by fostering strengths and reducing risks.
A new approach is needed.
Almost half of us will be affected by a mental health condition at some point in our lives. These conditions can be profoundly distressing and disruptive to people's lives. While effective treatments are now more widely available, the percentage of people affected is not coming down.
Prevention and treatment work together against physical health conditions, yet when it comes to mental health we generally wait until people become unwell before we take action. This must change.
It's time to get serious about prevention.
Join forces with us, and stop mental health conditions before they start.
