Is mind.org.uk Legit?

Dont even attempt to ask for help from them, if you have a serious MI like schizophrenia. They are only just about "qualified" for common garden anxiety and depression. In fact if you present yourself as being psychotic, the "staff" will ring the police on you.Yes, you lot in Littlehampton, West sussex, im looking at you.Its a con.

Today is mental health day ……Would leave zero stars shockingly . The so called support lady would not support me unless I let them record but she suggested so I thought it was optional . So did she gaslit me !!! Is this really a charity that backs and supports MENTAL HEALTH . I hat I had to talk about is very personal and not for some to offer help but on their terms , ICK . Also I have a 22 year old female on a waiting list for near two years … Sexual Assult therapy waiting list and was sacked by Marks and Sparks (that’s their charity they support) for being aggrophobic and no support even better help won’t help and is too expensive . Whose side are you on MIND !!

Been in touch so many times to help my son at my wits end worried about him. Just want an appointment forI will pay but they don’t want to know.They just fob me offI’m disgusted

Mind has been greatly disappointing. Recently they have encouraged a single side of the political in place of advice for Mental Health and Mental Illness. They are actively tying to provide educational material all geared towards far sides of the political spectrum. They should be non-biased in discussion with a view to help Mental Health and Mental Illness. A charity doing this is biased and bigoted. They are actively encouraging hate. As a man with Autism and Bipolar this was deeply hurtful to see. They will not be taken advantage of me or anyone in my forums. We need to encourage people with Disorders to seek advice from institutions and support that don't operate with covert political ideologies and intentions.

Have you seen all the reviews about this place People are speaking the truth This place is terrible He doesn't help anybody If you ve got issues with your mental health, they won't help you Just forget about you

Was sighed at by some rude Irish focker within minutes. All the characteristics of a dog but understand and care. I don't need a reassuring voice and some drawling pens. Extremely triggered mental health after call ironically. Luckily we are both safe as I'm a long way away

Completely disgusted with service. Got even more frustrated and angry after recwibmving "the treatment". I was talking to the lady, that I need urgent help and I would like to have a session every week (for six weeks, like it could do any change...) and in return I got one session a month, half of them cancelled due to the consuelor "feeling bad/sick", or going for holiday (twice and each of them was for two weeks since when was trying to get help!), lady promising to send some exercises, sources, anything to help me with my problems, and always forgetting to send them! Oh my gosh, complete waste of my time and triggering me more than before this useless service.Do not sign up for this!

Im happy I was introduced to Mental Health Services. It takes a lot of courage to understand this organization. I promise each and every staff member will enter hell for undermining a fellow Human.

Disappointing, they caused me great distress chasing me for “outstanding invoices” I’d already made. Disorganised and abrupt, having paid for counselling I felt no further forward - they concentrated on the problem not solutions.

I have received great help and support from MIND. They have been supporting me since 2015 and I have always felt supported by them.

I worked for MIND - do not trust them. Do not, under any circumstances, trust them. They cannot look after their own staff. They have zero interest in the mental health and safety of their own staff, and I have experience of people who have tried to take their lives while MIND managers have not *even once checked up on them*. That is their STAFF, folks. Underpaid, exploited, and patronised as much as their service users. MIND is a scam, should be properly exposed as such, and we all of us deserve very much better.

Unhelpful and dismissive. Mind, North London branch did not even reply to my email containing distressing information and call for help. They are not fit for purpose and should be shut down. Do not donate any money to them, it’s money thrown into the mud as nobody benefits from it. Staff treat people asking for help like pests. It’s sickening to have this type of service in the so called first world democratic country.

I spoke to MIND today to ask if they could help me in any way. I have received a very threatening demand for money I don't owe from a well known quasi Government organisation. This demand was received by email at 3AM on a Saturday morning with no way of contacting anyone until Monday.I asked the organisation to stop this sort of tactic as they are going to cause a death sooner or later to someone suffering mentally They're not interested.That's how they do things.As MIND advertise themselves as a campaigning organisation, I asked them for help. At first I was told they don't do things like this. When I persisted I was told it could be passed on to a team leader but nothing would be done.I was made to feel so unwanted I actually apologised for wasting their time.A totally useless service.

I want to start with the lady who was assigned to me was respectful and kind so no words against her however I didn’t find Mind helped me in any way shape or form. All what happened was I had verbal diarrhoea yet no proper in-depth conversations about anything. It’s only 30 minutes per session. I found that there was homework to do and bits of information on A4 paper that I could’ve found on any Google search. They are not trained people to help with real significant mental health issues. They’re just an Ear. My GP referred me to them yet I am no better off than when I started. I can’t remember any significant conversation or help that I could take away with me after my sessions. I cancelled my last as I didn’t find it was helping me. I 100% believe I have more psychological understanding of the human mind than what Mind has.

I went into a mind charity shop and seen a few bags the total price was £10.50 I only had £10 on me so asked if they would take £10 for the bags no was the answer so fine I left them after thinking about it surely the £10 would of been more beneficial to a genuine charity rather than refusing the sale for the sake of 50p seems like a money grabbing racket won't ever support this charity again so well done

Understanding Mental health is never easy or often explained clearly. Same goes for managing mental health illnesses. Mind covers almost every mental health condition in easily understandable detail from possible causes, symptoms, and self-help techniques to help manage these disorders and illnesses. Wether understanding your own condition or illness or that of a loved one Mind is extremely helpful when one needs to understand mental health better. Also due to the detailed information available at Mind it is also extremely helpful for those looking towards general self-education and understanding of mental health and our minds. Great Job 👏

Emailed Mind Hampshire asking if they knew of any affordable councelling sessions below the £55 per hour mark. Their response was abrupt and so what rude. They responded saying they do not know of any heavily discounted or free services available. They cannot help me any further.1) I was not asking for heavily discounted or free services. I was just asking of recommendations for councelling services below the £55 per hour mark. I thought this is what Mind the charity was for, so the general public to ask for help and guidance.2) The message was just blunt. I thought being mind they may share some tips articles or guidance. They shared nothing at all. Just fobbed me off.Really shows the state of the economy, highest ever mental health statistics in the UK to date and when people ask for paid guidance (not even free) they are shut down..

At the start of the pandemic both myself and my wife needed help with our mental health, so we approached this organisation. Three weeks later (!) they replied with a brief message advising us to consult our GP. Go figure. They were absolutely hopeless, uncaring and unresponsive to our needs. I think they should be outed for being nothing more than a raising awareness organisation. They present the image of a caring organisation that actually ACTS to help people, but that just isn't the case.

I have had the misfortune of dealing with MIND twice. The first time, a rude woman on the phone told me "We can't help, sorry" and simply hung up. The second time was a lot more complicated, but briefly, I was under the care of a crisis recovery worker and after my sessions ended, was told I could re-refer back. Long story short, I did re-refer myself back, only to be told that MIND won't help me again, because they don't have the staff. Maybe if they spent more time actually helping people, than posting to their social media and doing fun runs, they might have time to actually support people. Avoid if you don't want to make already complicated mental health problems, much worse.

These people will make your mental health worse! Trying to push you into full time employment when you suffer serious mental health, accusing you of not engaging if you miss several appointments due to being too anxious and depressed to leave home. I thought mind was designed for mental health? They just expect you to miracously recover and become a normal functioning member of society after 2 months of fortnightly appointments. You're left feeling guilty and useless for explaining how you feel. I had a similar issue last year with a different support worker! They are completely inconsiderate, they will speak loudly of personal details about yourself in front of a busy setting instead of lowering their voice. (great for anxiety)!!!! Basic respect and boundaries are just NOT there!!
