| Description: | SANE was established in 1986 to improve the quality of life for people affected by mental illness following the overwhelming public response to a series of articles featured in The Times newspaper entitled The Forgotten Illness. Written by Marjorie Wallace, now SANE's chief executive, the articles exposed the neglect of people suffering from schizophrenia and the poverty of services and information.
SANE has three objectives:
To raise awareness and respect for people with mental illness and their families and secure better services
To undertake research into the causes of serious mental illness through The Prince of Wales International Centre for SANE Research
To provide information and emotional support to those experiencing mental health problems, their families and carers through SANEline and SANEmail. |
