This month, I donated to 'Mind' mental health charity, which supports and offers guidance to individuals to with mental illnesses, and provides them with information about treatment and help with their condition. By following this link: http://www.mind.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do/ you will be able to learn exactly what 'Mind' can do for individuals with mental illnesses, as well as the work they do and campaigns they run in order to challenge and change the stigma of mental health in society today.
One of their campaigns is the 'General Election 2015', which can be found here: http://www.mind.org.uk/news-campaigns/campaigns/general-election-2015/ which focuses on ensuring our new government considers and acts on the needs of individuals with mental illnesses. Another of their campaigns is the 'Access to talking therapies', which can be found here: http://www.mind.org.uk/news-campaigns/campaigns/access-to-talking-therapies/ which focuses on making sure that individuals who are referred to therapies are given aid within 28 days of this recognition.
The charity's 'A-Z Mental Health' feature on their website is useful in educating people about the different aspects of mental illness from symptoms to treatments, in order to provide sufferers and non-sufferers about mental health as a whole, and the current stigma of mental health by educating people on the facts and opinions of mental health, making it clear to determine the symptoms of mental illness sufferers.
I definitely encourage you to take a look at the 'Mind' website, which can be found here: http://www.mind.org.uk/ to explore the different sections in order to learn more about mental health, and help change the stigma of mental health in the future.
Thank you for your continued support of '12 Months of Giving', and I will see you in early April for a post all about my deed for the month.
Be Good!
Kizzy :)
