About Us
Mental Health Providers Forum (MHPF) continues to be the leading voice representing voluntary sector mental health service providers across England. Across our membership we represent the broad scope of voluntary/not-for-profit mental health organisations – from large national and regional providers through to small local service providers.
We are driven to improve the quality of mental health care by working for and with our members towards greater service delivery from voluntary/community partners. At the heart of this is effectively communicating the experiences and concerns of service providers and service users to policy makers, with the aim of impacting national and regional mental health strategies.
We want to make recovery for many of those living with mental ill health both a reasonable and an attainable goal.
Our strategic objectives
- To challenge, shape and expand the market in line with 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 providers
