Mental Health - The Facts

Each week... 1 in 4 people suffer mental health problems. 106 people will take their own life this week. Mental health effect us all ! 

Every year... 31 million people will receive a prescription for antidepressants. 16 million receive a prescription for sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs and/or tranquillisers. The MindinfoLine responds to 25,000 queries BUT over 17,000 go unanswered due to lack of resources.

How YOU can help  ...

£30 = Trains a Mind volunteer to promote awareness of mental health issues.

£1000 = Prints 5,000 advice booklets to help people deal with stress, bereavement, depression and eating disorders.

£200 = MindinfoLine remains open for 2 hours, answering on average, the concerns of 28 people in need of support and information.

£1200 = Prints 4000 copies of a new leaflet on issues such as depression or bereavement.

£150 = Provides training and work experience for someone recovering from mental illness.

£300 = Supports a Mind Befriending Scheme.

Going For Gold  in 2009

If we raise £5000. That would make a REAL difference and enable Mind to do ALL of the above and more.
