Mental Health
Overview
In the UK, 1 in 4 adults face mental health issues annually, with anxiety and depression affecting 1 in 6 weekly. Suicide rates are 10.4 per 100,000, particularly high among men aged 20-49, and 1 in 8 children aged 5-19 have a diagnosable mental condition. In Nottinghamshire, anxiety and depression affect 16-20% weekly, with a slightly lower suicide rate of 10.1 per 100,000, but higher self-harm rates among young people. Access to specialized care remains challenging, with waits over 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months). National and local efforts focus on increasing mental health support and community-based initiatives.
Mission
To promote mental wellness by offering support, raising awareness, and empowering individuals to manage their mental health in a stigma-free community.
Vision
A community where mental health is prioritized, stigma-free, and everyone has the tools to thrive.
Work and family lives have, for the most part, been extremely altered, and in many cases, it can be hard to see where one ends and the other begins. Understandably, home life can then become overwhelming. On the most basic level, taking breaks from work, and especially a change of scenery, can refresh the mind and help them not get bogged down.
For some, exercise can help keep their mind stimulated and feeling healthy- but if it becomes too much of a pressure and they start to have an unhealthy relationship with body image, it’s important to know their limits and when to stop. Also, keeping in touch with the people closest to them is so important: keep the lines of communication open- it’s good for them! We’re not all superhuman, and asking for help if things are getting too much is sometimes crucial.
Our Approach
Educate the public on mental health through targeted campaigns, reducing stigma and fostering open dialogue while collaborating with local media, schools, and businesses to make mental health a community priority, ensuring information is accessible to all.
Provide free or low-cost mental health services, including counselling and workshops, making support more affordable. Additionally, we offer an online resource platform where individuals can access tools and local service directories to improve accessibility.
Empower individuals through volunteer training and peer support networks, enabling them to become mental health advocates. These mental health champions facilitate open discussions, provide support, and direct those in need to appropriate resources.
Introduce mental health programmes in schools and workplaces, promoting early intervention and teaching individuals to recognize early signs of mental health challenges. These initiatives help prevent more serious mental health issues by encouraging proactive well-being strategies.
Evaluate our programmes through feedback and data analysis, adapting them to meet the community’s changing needs. This ongoing assessment ensures that our initiative remains effective, sustainable, and impactful.
