Who we are
Get to know Mind
Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem.
What do we do?
Nationally, we give advice and support to anyone who needs it. On the high street, our charity shops raise vital funds and give away mental health information. Our local Mind network delivers mental health services to anyone who needs them.
Our Workplace Wellbeing Services team provides support for employers, such as mental health awareness training and bench-marking and best practice advice through our Workplace Wellbeing Index.
Why do we do it?
It has become increasingly apparent that mental health in the workplace is a very important but under informed topic; not everyone experiencing a mental health problem at work has access to the support they require and managers can lack the confidence to provide the support needed for their staff.
We can help your organisation ensure your workplace has a positive working environment, with managers equipped to support staff should they be experiencing a mental health problem.
How can the Workplace Wellbeing Services team support you?

Managing mental health at work
Our Managing mental health at work course complements our Mental health awareness at work module. Both courses include best practice guidance and tips from our mental health and workplace wellbeing resources.
This course is for people managers and emphasises the importance of looking after your mental health as well as that of your employees. Each module, of which there are four, encourages greater awareness of mental health in the workplace and builds confidence in supporting staff at different stages. Each section promotes and equips learners to be proactive, effective and responsible when managing people.
The course lasts approximately 1.5 hours in total with each module lasting between 15 to 25 minutes. All four modules can be hosted on your LMS or we can provide access for you through our managed LMS. We recommend modules be completed sequentially and learning from each module is implemented before moving on to the next.
Topics included:
- Mental health, the business case and your role as a manager
- Promoting and boosting staff wellbeing and taking stock
- Conversations about mental health and supporting employees
- Positive and proactive performance management

Workplace Wellbeing Index
At Mind, we want to support a million people to stay well and have good mental health at work by 2021. That’s why we run our Workplace Wellbeing Index; a benchmark of best policy and practice.
It will help you find out where you are doing well and where you could improve your approach to mental health in the workplace.
You'll take part in staff and employer surveys to help us assess where the gaps lie between the organisation’s approach to workplace wellbeing and staff perceptions. We provide you with an assessment report with analysis of the survey results, highlighting what you are doing well and recommendations of where you can improve.
"The Index allowed us to take a view right through the business of what was working and what wasn't...… It gave us that independent and third party view of what we were doing"
Brian Van Campenhout, Lendlease
