These pages form Guide 8 of Managing for Mental Health: The Mind Employers Resource Pack. If you would like to order a copy of the pack, please contact Mind publications on 0844 448 4448 publications@mind.org.uk
Mind hopes that this guide, originally produced with the then Employment Support Programme at Kings College London, will be a useful resource to employers and anyone trying to promote equality of opportunity for people with mental health problems. To the best of our knowledge all the agencies listed offer broadly the services described. If your experience suggests otherwise please tell us about it, as we want to ensure that the directory is kept fully up to date.
These agencies all have expertise in mental health matters and employment. Most of them support people with mental health problems in their job search and in the workplace, and operate on a local or regional basis. They welcome approaches from employers seeking information or advice on good employment practices in relation to mental health - for example, what to do when a member of staff starts showing signs of a breakdown in mental health. They should be able to advise on adjusting work premises or practices where necessary. Some offer mental health awareness training and some may be able to support a member of staff directly.
Listed are national organisations first, then English regional organisations (London, East Anglia and South East, South West, E. Midlands, West Midlands, North West, Yorkshire and North East), Scotland and Wales.
Mind, Rethink, Richmond Fellowship Employment and Training (RFET), and the Shaw Trust all have local services.
