There has never been a greater need for Mind than the current times. Mental health problems in England and Wales and across Europe are on the rise: by 2021, depression will be the leading cause of health problems in Europe and the cost of poor mental health to our society is in excess of £110bn.
To provide services and support to anyone affected by or vulnerable to mental illness, improving their quality of life and wellbeing.
Mind in Somerset aims to promote good mental health and wellbeing, to provide a voice, and champion a greater understanding of mental health issues in the community, whilst operating to the highest standards of governance and best practice.
Mind in Somersets Vision and Values apply not only to all our service provision but also to how we treat each other and how we are as an employer.
Our Values provide a Framework for not only what we do but how we do it.
National Mind assess the quality of our local Minds through the Mind Quality Mark (MQM). It’s a set of standards covering all areas of local Mind activity. Local Minds undergo a rigorous MQM assessment, which includes a thorough appraisal of organisational policies and procedures as well as a visit and interviews with trustees, staff, volunteers and people who use services. MQM provides assurance that local Minds across England and Wales are well-run and meet our expectations of good practice, and in many cases excel beyond those expectations.
Local Minds provide mental health services in local communities across England and Wales. Our unique and successful network of over 100 local Minds is fundamental to everything we do.
We work together in partnership to deliver excellent mental health services to anyone who needs them.
