Making a difference: What we do to support you

Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need. This has to change. We’re Mind. We’re here to fight for mental health. For support, for respect, for you.

How do we make a difference?

  • We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health something people talk about every day. We speak out against unfair treatment in healthcare, at work, and in the law - things that make life harder for people with mental health problems.
  • We support minds by giving help when it’s needed - through our advice, information, and local services.
  • And we connect minds by bringing people and communities together - people who care about mental health and want to make a difference.

Watch the video below to find out more about who we are and what we believe in.

Get information and support

When you’re going through a mental health problem, the right support and information can make a big difference.

We help people understand their mental health and the support they can get through:

"Mind was such an invaluable source of information. I can't put into words how helpful they were for both of us."

Find a mental health charity near you

Our local Minds give help and support to people who need it most. With over 100 local Minds across England and Wales, it’s easy to find one near you.

 Each one offers different types of support based on what their community needs.

You might be looking for counselling, peer support, or someone to speak up for you. Whatever you need, finding local support can be an important step in feeling better.

Mental health training in your workplace

Workplaces play a crucial role in mental health awareness and we can help you bring about real change. Investing in mental health training can help end discrimination and create a healthier workforce. Help raise awareness of good mental health through our workplace training and consultancy.

We offer a range of training packages, including face-to-face sessions and eLearning courses.
