More about Mind

They advocate for individuals who suffer from mental health issues to be treated with respect and they wish to empower sufferers, seeking to improve services, promote understanding and raise awareness. Mind helps people to take control over their mental health. They provide information, advice, training programmes, grants and services through local Mind associations.

At a local level, Mind provides services and support to more than 250,000 people every year. Nationally, Mind campaigns for rights of those affected by mental health problems. Examples of Mind’s campaigns are their constant fight to protect the interests of people on benefits with mental health problems and seeking to amend the Health & Social Care bill as it passes through Parliament.
Mind helps those that are left feeling neglected, rejected and alone. Many sufferers admit to being coerced, abused, restrained and traumatised. Mind seeks to channel these emotions into positivity. Their website is a very useful resource for those going through difficult times, or for those that wish to know more about certain conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, abuse or self-harm, to help their friends and family cope with their mental state.
Their website also provides helpful information on rights and legislation in relation to mental health disorders. Alternatively, Mind has an ‘infoline’ or helpline for help and advice. They can be reached on 0300 123 3393 or at info(at)mind(dot)org(dot)uk. For legal advice, ring 0300 466 6463.

How can you ensure a good mental condition?
Research demonstrates that more active individuals have lower rates of depression and anxiety and have a greater sense of well-being. Even simple activities like walking in the local park, or doing some gentle outdoor exercise can improve mental states. Incorporating these activities into weekly routines should prove effective.
