This website contains information for family members and friends of people who have psychosis.
The information is based on the results of research carried out to learn more about the causes of psychosis and to develop better treatments or improve existing ones. Many researchers also work in NHS mental health services
and so have extensive knowledge about psychosis as a result of their professional experience.
The organisations involved
in creating this site are:
The Institute of Psychiatry,
a research and teaching organisation and a school of King’s College London;
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust,
which runs mental health services in south London;
Rethink,
the mental health charity that runs support groups for carers and for people with severe mental illness, and a range of mental health services.
You can find out more about what each organisation does by looking on the Who we are pages.
The Wellcome Trust has financially supported the
re-development of this website
See other videos of mental health professionals and researchers talking about different aspects of psychosis, treatment and care on relevant pages throughout the site.

Please print out this A4 poster about mentalhealthcare.org.uk and ask to put it up in your GP surgery, and anywhere else where people who might find the site useful will see it. The poster will print on a colour or black and white printer.
