The Association for Mental Health Management aims to be the voice of key managers working in the mental health field. We exist to help mental health managers develop and manage high quality services by sharing ideas, current issues and good practice. The association lobbies UK MPs and ministers, the Department of Health and other agencies to make sure that members' views are heard. We are committed to networking with other organisations, including academic and research institutions, voluntary sector groups and trade unions.
Membership is open to anyone who co-ordinates, manages or develops community mental health services.
Associate membership is open to academics and researchers, mental health practitioners and senior NHS, local authority and voluntary sector managers. We are keen to hear mental health managers' views.
