With the current challenges the world is facing Mental Health has never been more important. 1 in 4 people will experience Mental health issues in just a single year and with the year we’ve just faced, unfortunately this is on the rise.
- There are 6000+ Suicides in the UK alone per year
- People with a long-term mental health condition lose their jobs every year at around double the rate of those without a mental health condition.
- 70%-75% of people with mental health issues receive no treatment at all.
Mind provide a lifesaving service and during these difficult times are stretched thinner, now more than ever.
They provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem and campaign to improve services, raise awareness, and promote understanding.
They work to make sure everyone can get mental health support, whoever they are, whatever their race, gender, sexuality, disability, or beliefs.
They design their services together with the people who use them. They stand up to the injustices that make life harder for people with mental health problems and they build on the incredible power of their local Mind network and shops right across England and Wales.
