Mental health comprises our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we feel, think and act, and can be a determinant of how we handle stress. Therefore, good mental health is very important at every stage of life.

People who have good general health can still have underlying emotional problems and mental health issues. These can be caused by a genetic predisposition, environmental influences, trauma, both during childhood or as an adult, bereavement, loneliness, stress, a long-term medical condition, being a carer or family problems; stressful work/education environments can make the condition worse.

With an estimated 1 in 4 people experiencing some form of mental illness, it’s possible that you or one of your loved ones could be living with a mental health issue, sometimes in silence.

Here at Unmasked Mental Health (Unmasked), our goal is simple. Through our Hubs, Counselling Services and our Training provision, we want to provide safe, stable and regulated environments where people who are experiencing poor mental health can communicate and support each other or get professional support. The Hubs can also be used to educate employers and others on how to support people who may be experiencing mental health difficulties. 

We are proud to partner with many other organisations within the communities we operate. Unmasked are a social prescriber service working in partnership with NHS England; this means you can be referred to us for support directly from your GP.
