Building solutions campaign

Mind launched the Building solutions campaign in October 2006.

Mind was concerned about how the environments we spend time in affect our mental health. Our 'Building solutions: environments for better mental health' campaign focused on two areas - mental healthcare environments and offices.

While many offices and healthcare environments have a positive impact on our mental health, some are still falling short of the mark. We helped raise the profile of the importance of the built environment and highlighted the way that they reflect the positive way we want to feel about ourselves.

You can find out more about the campaign in this section or contact Mind's Campaigns Team.
