Our equality improvement work

Not everyone can get the mental health support that’s right for them. We’re working hard to change that.

Since we began, we’ve stood by people who face more than one kind of unfair treatment – like being treated differently because of their mental health, race, religion, sexuality or disability.

Campaigning for equalities and human rights

Many of you have told us you regularly face prejudice and discrimination, whether it’s by your employer, a service provider or anyone in society. Our Policy and Campaigns team are working hard to make sure this changes. Take a look at some of the areas they are focusing on.

Fighting against racism in mental health

People from racialised communities are more likely to experience a mental health problem but less likely to receive the help they need. Find out more about what we're doing as an organisation to tackle this.

Young Black men

We are working to improve the resilience of young Black men and support them to take better care of their mental health and wellbeing. This includes our Young Black Men's programme which works with young Black men to build services around their lived experience.

Mental health and being LGBTQIA+

Those of us who are lesbian, gay, bi or trans are far more likely to experience a mental health problem than others because of the discrimination we face. Find out about our work with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Making Every Adult Matter

Mind is part of a coalition of charities called Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM). Working together, we support local areas across the country to develop effective, coordinated services that directly improve the lives of people facing multiple disadvantages. Find out more about how the MEAM Approach helps local areas design and deliver better coordinated services.
