Mind are a mental health charity and support system for those experiencing a mental health condition. They believe that supportive and reliable information can change your life when experiencing these problems. They directly work with those in need to encourage and empower people to understand their condition through three different information platforms: Infoline, offering callers confidential help for the price of a local call; Legal advice service, providing information on mental health related to the law, service users, family members/carers, professionals and advocates; Publications and websites.
The charity have a wide range of resources on their website that cover a vast number of the the mental health disorders. This demonstrates that there is specific and individual care needed for each disorder and that a summary of all can not be correctly made. One area that stands out as being different to the other topics that are addressed on the information pages is the page that covers information for carers. This is an area that has been discussed as being a direction to take. This would address the issue that there is a lack of support and recognition for those who are carers of an individual suffering from a mental disorder, as well as there being a lack of recognition for the support that they can give.
