I don't like in the UK and can't access Mind (unfortunately), but we have something similar in my country. It has helped me immensely! To be able to talk to other people, without barriers, and know they don't get scared or judge me, it's so FREEING! I am living with chronic mental illness, but I have this organization and I have friends there. It's SO good for my health!
I live in the US but your organization really does sound wonderful. I'm lucky to have some support in my life but I find myself longing for people who have shared my experiences.
Ten years ago I was in such an unfit state. I wish I had known about such a charity. Next year I have plans to raise money for Mind or a similar charity.
This is very moving video. I use mind in west Sussex and they have helped me so much in the last 18th months. I really don't think I would be here without them. Thankyou so much for helping to give me my life back
Hello fellow Yognau(gh)ts! Let's work together to support something great: Mind is a fantastic charity and together we can make a huge difference! /salute
I watched this and i felt a tear role down my cheek. I always felt that mental health was a strictly taboo subject in my culture but when i saw Rohan, I have now started to look into Mind much more. My own mental health is becoming hard to handle but since i recently watched people like Stephen supporting this, i want to do something to get back off the rock bottom and do something for others at the same time. I am truly falling in love with MIND! Thank you.
I have a lot of respect for Mr Stephen Fry but the level of Homophobia and racism I faced at Bradford Mind was rife . It was perpetrated by both clients and staff alike and when I vocalised the behaviour and threats were not acceptable to management of Mind I was made to feel like the primary perpetrator rather than the primary victim . I now stay clear of the place as the devastating impact the discrimination I suffered only worsened my feelings of isolation and depression . Also the West Yorkshire police and hate crime failed to challenge and act within the law of these levels of discrimination . I am both articulate and Vocal person so if this has happened to me who knows how many other victims walked away silently and crushed by an organisation that is supposed to support and care for vulnerable people . I’ve written these comments before but evidently Mind is deleting these comments for damage limitation agenda .
Hi Wahid, we are really sorry to hear about this, it does sound like an awful experience. Have you put in a complaint with Bradford Mind? We have received your comments and they are all now published, as we explained in reply to your other message, we hold all comments for review before publishing so there can be a delay in them appearing. Take care, Cora at Mind
Hi Sam, sorry to hear you didn't find Brandford Mind helpful. If you're still looking for support, we could try recommending some alternatives to you? Take care, Cora at Mind
I'm not totally sure i mind mental health unit help people i've recently experienced mind help and tell you now they are useless, don't waste your time using them.

Yeah...totally welled up there... I love this Charity. I love mind.
well that last piece of text made me burst into tears.
Good luck.
This is wonderful, great to see such a powerful person representing such an important cause!
Shame on people who still feel there is something dark about Mental Health Problems. Everyone at some stage in their life has problems. Support MIND.
You really should listen to these charlatan's behind their "Clients" backs calling them loonies and nutters!!!!!
What lovely people, very inspiring.
Beautiful video, currently using solent mind services.
Wonderful video by Mind =)

Just out of curiosity, do you provide support for people living in Scotland?
