Mind Charity Profile: How the Mental Health Charity Supports Those Who Need it Most
Each month My Favourite Voucher Codes chooses 3 charities to donate 20% of its net profits to and one of this months charities is Mind. We have had a look at what Mind is all about and what the charity stands for.
The Mental Health Charity
Mind's main goal is to make sure anyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn for advice and support.
Every year, one in four of us will experience mental health difficulties. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling to get the support they need. They are still unable to access the services that could change their life and facing prejudice and misunderstanding.
Making Sure No-One Faces a Mental Health Problem Alone
We provide supportive and reliable information through our helplines, publications and websites. We provide help and support directly to those who need it most. Our network of local services supports people on the ground, in their local communities, reaching around 250,000 people each year. And we campaign on a range of issues that could affect anybody with a mental illness.
Access to Treatments and Support
Mind helps people access the treatments they need and makes sure that anyone suffering from a mental health problem is given the right support and information. This varies form providing tips for everyday living to providing information on mental health legislation. In addition, Mind also campaigns to improve psychological services and to raise awareness.
