Adults

Our general work is primarily aimed at raising awareness and delivering training using high quality resources. We do work at a policy level linking up with other major charities and the Department of Health. It is our aim to reduce stigma and encourage more individuals to seek help. The Trust has been influential at a policy level and is proud to have supported the publication of the Depression report.

We aim to deliver 300 free training days per year to a wide range of audiences in an effort to raise awareness of depression, reduce stigma and educate about current NICE guidelines for treatments. More information on the type of training available can be found here. We also sponsor local well being events and organise conferences to raise awareness of depression. We fund a number of small projects to increase knowledge and dissemination of depression information. These include:

• One in Four magazine is a life style magazine written for people with mental problems by people who have experienced illness of this kind.
• A mental health press officer at the Science Media Centre to ensure mental health is well represented in the press.
• Mental Wellbeing and the City: Science, Stigma and Solutions: a project sponsored by the Mercer’s Company to raise awareness in the City of London.
