Heads Together is a mental health initiative spearheaded by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, which combines a campaign to tackle stigma and change the conversation on mental health with fundraising for a series of innovative new mental health services.
Many o
f us will experience a mental health problem in our lifetime and, in the UK, mental illness accounts for a third of all illnesses at any given time.
Mental health issues can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, class or race. They can have a profound affect on family members and particularly children.
Family Action provides specialist mental health and wellbeing services for adults. We work not only with the individual directly affected but also with their children and whole families. We are non-judgemental and focus on building on individual and family strengths in order to support the family towards recovery.
