What we do

How do we make a difference?

We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems.

We support minds – by offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.

And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference.

Get information and support

When you're experiencing a mental health problem, supportive and reliable information can change your life.

We empower people to understand their mental health and the choices available to them through:

Our Infoline, which offers confidential help for the price of a local call
Our Legal Line, which offers information on mental health law
Our award-winning information, available online and in print

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

Find your local Mind

Our local Minds offer help and support to those who need it most. There's more than 100 local Minds across England and Wales, offering specialised support and care based on the needs of their communities.
