Rethink Mental Illness has a wide remit; we have services, groups, helplines, and we work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, care homes, prisons and in the community. Feedback regularly informs the way we work, but we wanted to create a way to understand more deeply our effectiveness: what works well, and what works less well.

We are campaigning to end serious harm and deaths in the benefits system. Our latest report, “We’re just numbers to them” – The DWP’s failure to investigate death and serious harm, highlights the experiences of the people being desperately failed by the welfare system.

The benefits system should be a lifeline for people living with mental illness, but our report shows how the DWP's investigations into deaths and serious harm are secretive and not fit for purpose.

Schizoaffective disorder can affect people in different ways but it shares very similar symptoms to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. People living with the condition can experience periods of mania and depression, and often will hear voices or have delusional thoughts. Below is the script that Julia sent us - written and created to illustrate the experience of psychosis.

After experiencing grief, suicide attempts and multiple hospital admissions, Lisa accessed two supported accommodation services with Rethink Mental Illness. She is now planning on living in a flat independently and is finally looking forward to what the future holds.
