Who we are

Get to know Mind

Every year, one in four people will experience a mental health problem.

What do we do?We’re Mind, the mental health charity. We’re here to make sure anyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn for advice and support.At least one in six workers experiences a common mental health problem, including anxiety and depression, and work is the biggest cause of stress in people's lives. We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone.Our Workplace Wellbeing Services team provides support for employers, such as mental health awareness training as well as bench-marking and best practice advice through our Workplace Wellbeing Index.

For every £1 spent by employers on supporting employees' mental health, employers will receive £5 back in reduced absenteeism and staff turnover.

Why do we do it?We all have mental health just as we all have physical health, and considering how much time we spend working, it’s not surprising that our jobs can have a significant impact on our mental wellbeing.During the coronavirus pandemic, we all had to adjust to very large and sudden changes in the way we work. Many of us now are working in new ways with our colleagues, our customers and our value chains. Coping with change and disruption can lead to challenges with our mental health and wellbeing so it’s more important now than ever before to look after your employees’ mental health. We can help your organisation to understand how best to support your people and create a mentally healthy workplace.
