Helping families invest in their mental wealth

Dr Elizabeth McNaught (Lizzie) is a medical doctor with lived experience of eating disorders, having nearly died from anorexia at the age of 14. Since qualifying as a doctor she told her story in her book Life Hurts: a doctor’s personal journey through anorexia.

Lizzie had no idea that this would become a best-seller, leading to many opportunities to speak on TV and radio, often with her father or mother, Nick & Carol Pollard, to provide a parent’s perspective.

It was after one such TV appearance that Lizzie suggested to her parents that they should now create other resources to help families whose children are living through mental health issues. Thus Family Mental Wealth was born.

The term Mental Wealth is a combination of mental health and wellbeing. There are many sources of support to help people invest in their family’s financial wealth or property wealth. Our mission is to help people invest in their family’s mental wealth, by building resilience together. Our initial focus is on eating disorders, but the principles underlying these resources apply to a wide range of mental health issues and we are gradually expanding our offerings to facilitate family-based pro-active self-care for all mental health conditions, from postnatal depression to dementia.
