Public Policy Offices
An Ireland where people can access the support they need in their community to achieve their best possible mental health
About us
Mental Health Reform is the leading national coalition on mental health in Ireland, formed in 2006. We have over 80 member organisations, representing a broad range of interests, like housing, disability, children’s rights, human rights, ethnic minorities and many others. Mental Health Reform provide a unified voice campaigning to drive progressive reform of mental health services and supports in Ireland. Our vision: An Ireland where people can access the support they need in their community to achieve their best possible mental health. What we do: Identifying gaps – We identify unmet mental health needs particularly among people who can fall through the net, like people with intellectual disabilities, those who are homeless or people from ethnic minorities. Developing best practice – We draw on best practice to advise Government and champion innovation in the supports provided to people. Building consensus – We work closely with our members and directly with people and their families using mental health services, bringing their voices and their needs to the attention of Government, the HSE and other key state bodies. Taking action – We work to raise concerns about mental health and the social inclusion of people with mental health difficulties, encouraging people to support and take action on our campaigns. Monitoring and reviewing – We monitor the actions of Government, the HSE and other agencies to ensure that they are measuring up on the commitments and promises they have made. We are registered with the Companies Registration Office (506850); the Charities Regulator (RCN 20078737); the Revenue Commissioners (19958); and the Office of Data Commissioner. Mental Health Reform is not a crisis support service or manned 24/7. If you need support now, contact Samaritans on 116 123, visit www.samaritans.ie or email jo@samaritans.ie
