Solihull Mind is the local voluntary sector group for mental health in the borough of Solihull. We have been in existence for twenty years and provide a wide range of services.

Solihull Mind believes that people who have mental health problems have the same rights as any other person; that they should not be disadvantaged or subject to prejudice and should have the right to live an ordinary life in the community with the necessary support and care to ensure fulfilment and independence.

As a local mental health organisation Solihull Mind seeks to improve the quality, quantity, and accessibility of services for people with emotional distress. We do this by providing information about different forms of emotional distress, possible ways of preventing or managing them, where to look for help, and advice on legal and other rights; encouraging the involvement of Mind, other mental health groups and in particular, service users, in the planning and provision of services; and by providing quality, innovative services.

Solihull Mind is affiliated to Mind nationally. Mind campaigns and lobbies Parliament for changes in policy, improved services, and achieving equal rights. For details of Mind's current campaigns visit our national website at www.mind.org.uk
