World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day is on 10 October 2023. It's a day to raise awareness of mental health problems. But more and more of us are aware of mental health. And so many of us still aren't getting the right support.
Awareness is just the start. Now it's time to act.
Take action
Tell the UK government to publish the Mental Health Act
Mental health hospitals are broken. Buildings are crumbling. Wards are often bare, cold and rundown. And people’s voices are being ignored.
On top of this, we’re still waiting for the UK government to reform the 40 year old Mental Health Act. To give people more say in their treatment, and strengthen their rights while in hospital.
The UK government must deliver a reformed Mental Health Act before the next election.

"I tried to do it alone and I failed. I want people to know that Mind is there to help them and if they can face their problems early, they might not suffer for as long as I have."
Jasmine blogs about how Mind has supported both her and her mother with their mental heath.
