Mind Annual Review 2018-19 - Mind, the mental …

Reaching out, reaching new heights

Our annual review for 2018-19

Don't be shackled, do not be burdened, do not be conditioned by what has gone before. The stiff British upper lip, it's gone. That code of silence around what you're thinking and what you're feeling, it's gone.

Mind Ambassador Clarke Carlisle gave an impassioned speech at the 2018 Virgin Money Giving Mind Media Awards, calling for more openness about mental health after he and his wife Carrie won the Speaking Out Award. As you can read throughout this review, openness was at the very heart of our thinking throughout 2018/19 too ? as we worked with more people in more ways than ever before.

Our guiding vision is simple: we won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

And we mean everyone.

Throughout this review, you'll see how we're reaching out to more people in more ways to help achieve that vision. Schoolchildren. Teachers. Parents. Police officers. Fire officers. Paramedics. Search and rescue teams. People experiencing a mental health crisis. Football fans. Politicians. People put at risk by the benefits system. People who would rather text than talk. People with nowhere else to turn.

It's a long list, and we'll make sure it keeps getting longer. Because we're here for everyone experiencing a mental health problem ? and in 2018/19 we reached out to more people than ever before.
