Get involved!
1 in 4 of us experience mental ill health at some point of our life.
The chances are that you may live with or know someone who has as a mental health problem.
Membership of the Trust is the perfect way for you to help support our anti-stigma 'Making Life Better' Campaign. It is also an important way for you to help influence your local NHS services.
You can join us if you live in England and aged 11 years or older. As a member, you can get involved as little or as much as you want. You can attend events, be consulted on Trust matters, help with surveys, write articles or stand for election as a member of the Council of Governors. It's entirely up to you.
Emotional wellbeing is everyone's business and everyone is different. As a member we will help personalise membership so that it is meaningful for you. We will also take note of how much or how little you want to be involved.
