Mind is a leading mental health charity, which covers the regions of England and Wales. The idea behind mind is to create a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all. It tries to build a society that treats people with an experience of mental distress, fairly, positively and with respect, It looks to make sure that those who experience mental distress are listened too, that their voices are heard by those that can influence change. It focuses on demanding higher standards of mental health care and to challenge discrimination wherever it occurs.
The services for mind include supported housing, crisis help lines, drop-in centers, employment and training schemes, counseling and befriending. Although mind is one charity, each local mind is an independent charity run by local people, for local people. This gives mind the ability to respond to issues within the community, like the planning of mental health services, local campaigns to on metal health issues, and raising awareness so that attitudes towards mental health may change.
Mind is totally independent, this gives it the integrity and the independence and freedom to stand up and speak out on the real issues that affect people’s daily lives.
