About Mind
Society's attitude to mental health is being transformed, and Mind is at the forefront of that change.

Together, we're keeping mental health at the heart of political agendas, improving public attitudes and supporting millions of people experiencing a mental health problem.

Last year alone, we reached over 390,000 people through our local Mind services, whilst Time to Change - our campaign in partnership with Rethink Mental Illness - has seen a 12.7% improvement in attitudes towards people experiencing mental health problems since 2008.

But we won't stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

We are leading the way in wellbeing at work, reaching over 1 million employees in the last three years, and we will continue to play a central role in holding government to account in England and Wales, demanding the successful delivery of national mental health strategies so that everybody, in every community, feels the benefits.

Together, we'll keep challenging attitudes, influencing government and supporting our diverse community of people those of us experiencing a mental health problem.

Our vision-We won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

Our mission-We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

Mind's values are at the heart of everything we do.
