South Kent Mind is one of around 125 local Minds that is affiliated to the national charity Mind. We are an independent local charity specifically focused on the people of South Kent, but support the wider mission and vision of national Mind.
National Mind is the leading mental health charity in England and Wales and their aim is that everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect.
Changing minds by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with a mental health problem.
Supporting minds by offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.
Connecting minds by bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health – to make a difference.
