Support us Corporate partnerships "With lots of charity events planned for the year, the BetterGov team are looking forward to being able to support such a worthwhile charity." Bonnie Noott, Compliance Administrator at Better Gov. Download our Corporate Partnerships pack Why partner with Mental Health Resource? By supporting Mental Health Resource, you and your company will be actively promoting mental wellbeing for the wider community and your employees. Lockdowns, anxiety, isolation, fear, and the challenges of learning to live with Covid have meant that we have seen an increase in clients referrals and we are now witnessing the early stages of a mental health crisis across West Kent. There are more people with poor mental health who could benefit from support, however, they are often isolated and present more complex issues – putting them at significant risk of slipping into crisis. No matter what size of company you are, becoming a partner of our award winning 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.
