Choosing mental health support

  1. 1. PurposeCompare information, peer support, counselling, crisis listening and campaigning separately.
  2. 2. AccessCheck age range, locality, referral requirements and whether a service has a waiting list.
  3. 3. EvidenceLook for participant experience and follow-up; a contact count does not prove improved wellbeing.

Selection questions from CharityCompare. Confirm current services with the charity; Clarity Scores assess financial and disclosure proxies, not programme effectiveness.
