As the leading mental health charity for England and Wales, Mind is a force for change.

We campaign vigorously to create a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all - a society where people with experience of mental distress are treated fairly, positively and with respect. Find out more.

We are both a local and national network. Between us, we work with around 250,000 people every year. We are able to help people who experience all types of mental distress, and who may require help from one or more of our services.

People who experience mental distress are always at the very heart of our work. We listen and make sure their voices are heard by those who influence change. We demand higher standards in mental health care and challenge discrimination wherever it occurs.

With one in four people likely to experience a mental health problem every year it is critical that we raise awareness and promote good mental health for the benefit of all members of society.

• making major changes to mental health legislation
• increasing access to psychological therapies
• banning Seroxat for under 18s after years of campaigning
• launching the groundbreaking Time to Change coalition to reduce the stigma and discrimination faced by people with experience of mental distress in England.
