Open Up Initiatives Scheme

The Open Up Initiatives Scheme is our special programme of support for groups and individuals who have experienced mental health problems and want to raise awareness around mental health issues in their local area. Each year, we pick 2 Initiatives in each of England's 8 regions and our Regional Co-ordinators work with them for one year, by offering the following:

* Training
* Mentoring & advice
* Links to other groups and organisations
* Help with expenses (up to £5000, an average of £2500)
