We work closely with workplaces to grow and develop mental health teams and identify improvements in training, education and processes to advance colleague mental health and wellbeing.
This corporate work provides essential funding for us to operate our Charity, The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation. Enabling us to subsidise sessions for people who have to self-refer to us directly and to alleviate the burden on our public services.
Our Charity partners with Primary Care Networks, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other Charities to set up Funding Partnerships so children, young people and adults can access an amazing 1:1 service for free!
Our Story
Our Founder, Jon, went through his own mental health journey. This was from when he was 5 years old when he began experiencing issues with his mental health. Since then, he has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.
With the help of an amazing team, Jon set up Arthur Ellis. Arthur was his Grandad on his Dad’s side and Ellis was his Grandad on Jon’s Mums side. Ellis had Schizoaffective Disorder and both Ellis and his surrounding community didn’t know what to do to best support him. Unfortunately, Ellis spent over 30 years in hospital.
This, as well as his own experiences, has left Jon striving to establish innovative ways for mental health to be delivered by building partnerships across businesses, charities, education and healthcare.
Our aim is to build a service that operates seamlessly alongside public services, to be there for the 250,000 young people who can’t currently be seen every year due to budget and service issues.
