What we Do

The LHF Overview

As the UK's ONLY charity focused on mental health support and awareness for our emergency services, we know this brings great responsibility to drive through meaningful change. 


This sector delivers unique challenges, which is why bespoke change is required. 


This change could come in many forms such as facilitating events with the intention of breaking through the stigmas associated with mental health, providing much needed funds direct to groups and individuals to offer immediate benefit or protecting the future of our emergency services workers before issues occur with appropriate documentation and support structures.

Using the generous donations (both time and money) from our amazing supporters we are able to make a difference right now. We can and will provide focused and relevant mental health support, documentation and events for the emergency services.


Specific examples of this include:


  • Launching our clinically supervised, independent and free of charge set of support services alongside our trusted partners, already helping over 8,000 individuals with their mental health
  • Providing financial reimbursement for all creative therapies delivered by approved providers
  • Improve data collection for medical sicknessabsence and suicide to gain an  accurate understanding of the scale of the problem, using data to understand specific challenges relating to mental health to inform and recommend the changes required to combat them
  • Resilience training modules designed and implemented at over 32 medical focused universities
  • Co-chairing the Nurse and Midwife Suicide Prevention Group alongside senior NHS personnel as well as being a board member of the Police equivalent to help drive through change
  • Developing clinical whitepapers and self-help material from our charity funded clinical leads covering self-help techniques which will be linked in to established employee handbooks
  • Hosting events with qualified and relevant key note speakers as part of the NHS trust conferences that focus on the topic of mental health
  • The campaigning for appointment of Mental Health First Aiders in each trust and place of work 
  • The campaigning for appointment of a mental health champion at each workplace 
  • The campaigning for implementation of a formal documented mental health and wellbeing policy with adequate signposting to staff in each hospital trust 
  • The campaigning for fast track counselling referrals for healthcare and emergency services workers 
  • Training for all managers/supervisors in mental health support  


We believe by implementing these initiatives we will bring about a needed improvement to mental health attitudes and support to ensure our frontline and healthcare workers are properly cared for.

Proud to work with fellow charities

 The Louise Tebboth Foundation is a grant giving charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the mental wellbeing of doctors in England and Wales. 


Established in the memory of Louise Marson (nee Tebboth) a London GP who took her life in 2015, the Foundation provides financial assistance to projects and services which support those objectives as well as initiatives that assist the bereaved families of doctors who have died by suicide.  


It has distributed nearly £20,000 in grants to support events and initiatives ranging from the purchase of furniture for a calm room for hospital staff through to the commissioning of groundbreaking academic research.
