We consulted extensively with thousands of people with mental health problems, supporters and key stakeholders. We know that the next four years are going to be crucial for the lives of millions of people. We are uniquely placed to build on the positive changes we have seen, to challenge any backward steps, and to move closer towards the tipping point desired by so many people with a mental health problem where they are treated with respect as equal citizens in our society.
Over 2,400 Mind staff, volunteers, members and people with an interest in mental health completed our survey. You can now read the summary and watch short interviews with Mind members recorded at the start of the consultation.
We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to the process.
