About Us

Mental Health Providers Forum (MHPF) is commited to the provision of mental health services in the not-for-profit sector. It is a platform for collaborative and co-operative partnerships to form across the voluntary and community mental health care sector to promote innovation within this sector. MHPF aims to improve quality and mental health care by helping to shape the market, influence policy and evidencing best practice.

Our strategic objectives:

  • To support growth within the voluntary sector and shape the market in line with service users’ demand and our core values
  • To articulate and promote users’ concerns about their experience of mental health services
  • To produce evidence to support radical change in the system for delivering mental health services
  • To drive the development of outcomes-focused commissioning
  • To strengthen the capacity of the sector and individual organisations to improve service provision
  • To become a more diverse network of mental health service providers

We want to make recovery for many of those living with mental ill-health both a reasonable and an attainable goal
