My mum was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was a child and her illness had a huge impact on my own mental health over the years. It's something that I've opened up about relatively recently and an issue that is very close to my heart. I'm running for the Mental Health Foundation because there's not enough research into the causes of mental ill health and not enough work on preventing mental health problems from developing in the first place. 

That's exactly what the Mental Health Foundation do. With prevention at the heart of their work, they aim to find and address the sources of mental health problems so that people and communities can thrive.
