Annual report & financial statements: 2023

We recruit, train, and develop the mental health workforce to provide the most effective support for people with mental health problems.

Founded in 2014, Think Ahead set out to strengthen mental health social work by attracting graduates and career-changers into the sector.

Every year, we recruit up to 160 people into mental health social work: providing them with academic learning and intensive on-the-job training through placements in NHS trusts and local authorities across England.

We advocate for social approaches to mental health, recognising that medical interventions alone may not always be enough improve someone’s mental health. When someone is experiencing mental ill health, they need support across all aspects of their life.
