Why partner with Mental Health Resource?

We have 30 years experience in working with local companies to raise the profile of mental health in our community.

By supporting Mental Health Resource, your company will be actively promoting mental wellbeing for the wider community and your employees.

We need your support now more than ever. 

In West Kent, around 66,400 (24%) of adults over 18 years are estimated to have symptoms of mental health disorder and people living in the most deprived areas are disproportionately affected. Unsurprisingly, our charity has recently seen a 40% increase in clients with effects of Covid, lockdowns and the cost-of-living crisis all taking their tole. 

No matter what size of company you are, becoming a partner of our charity offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate to your staff, clients and stakeholders that you believe in good mental wellbeing. Your support will help ensure we can provide vital support to hundreds of people in West Kent who suffer from mental illness, plus you'll be raising awareness of mental health and demonstrating your commitment to one of society’s most important causes.
