By sharing stories of real life mental health experiences, we aim to prove that managing mental health is simply part of being human. We may face individual challenges, but by learning about each other, we are in a stronger place to support one another.
Ending mental health stigma, one story at a time.
What People Say about Minds Anonymous
I think there has never been a better time to do it. Lot’s of people are struggling this year and we’re not out of the woods yet.
Minds Anonymous Supporter
I still think its mad that literally everyone I know has mental health issues of some kind and yet there’s still this feeling that we can’t be open about it!
