MQ: Transforming Mental Health is a London-based charity founded in 2013, with initial funding from the Wellcome Trust, to raise funds from the general public for research. [1] The charity is based in the UK, but it has an international focus and funds research globally.
The label "MQ" riffs on the concepts of Intelligence quotient (IQ) and Emotional quotient (EQ)[2] – compare MHQ (Mental Health Quotient).[3]
The charity's goal is to create a world where mental illnesses are understood, effectively treated and made preventable. It funds multi-disciplinary research into mental health relating to biological, psychological, and social sciences.
