Family Mental Wealth is a government-funded social enterprise co-founded by Dr Elizabeth McNaught (a GP with lived-experience of mental ill-health in her teenage years) and her parents Nick & Carol Pollard (former research psychologist, former teacher, and lifelong social-entrepreneurs).
Our mission is to play a significant role in supporting mental health provision for children and young people through digital tools to facilitate family-based self-help, appropriately integrated with educational and clinical support.
There are many different types of families, and for some people their network of close friends is ‘family’ to them. At Family Mental Wealth we consider families in their broadest possible sense, and seek to provide resources and support for them all.

About the founders
Having lived through severe mental ill-health ourselves as a family, when Lizzie was a teenager, we are passionate about helping other families.
Now that Lizzie is fully recovered and working as a GP, she is particularly passionate about helping health professionals and families.
Carol, having been a teacher and chair of governors, is keen to help other educators and the families that they serve.
And Nick is delighted to use his past experience as a research psychologist to ensure that everything we provide draws upon the best evidence-based knowledge.
