Every Mind Matters

Every Mind Matters is a campaign run by the NHS, which features the mental health tool My Mind Plan at the heart of their resources and advice for those facing mental health problems.

The aim of Every Mind Matters is to give people the skills and confidence to support our own and each other’s mental health and suggest what we should do if we have mental health problems.

How does Every Mind Matters improve public mental health?

At the heart of the campaign is the My Mind Plan tool. 

The My Mind Plan quiz asks people a few simple questions about their mental health priorities and any specific concerns they currently have. It then suggests an action plan based on these needs, which people can tailor to fit in with their lives. All the actions suggested have been drawn from evidence for self-help and reviewed by a range of experts so that they can be safely attempted by anyone at little to no cost.

In addition, Every Mind Matters has a good range of how-to guides and advice on when to seek help if your mental health deteriorates. There is also advice on supporting others and what you might expect if you need to access mental health services.
