We're listening

A big thanks to the thousands of people who filled out our consultation survey on Mind’s future direction

Your feedback and the views and experiences of the other members, volunteers, people with experience of mental distress, staff and health and social care workers will inform Mind’s 2012-16 strategy and help us to plot our future direction.

Over 2,400 Mind staff, volunteers, members and people with an interest in mental health completed our survey. You can now read the summary and watch short interviews with Mind members recorded at the start of the consultation.

The strategy will be launching in 2012.

  • promoting wellbeing, prevention and recovery
  • monitoring and improving service provision
  • promoting social inclusion via the lobbying of government.
