Better Health – Every Mind Matters is a campaign designed to empower people to look after their mental well-being and support others. It focuses on promoting mental well-being as well as addressing the four most commonly-reported, subclinical mental health concerns: anxiety, low mood, stress and trouble sleeping.
The programme offers a range of evidence-based self-care actions and free resources designed to help people care for their own mental health and prevent common concerns from escalating into mental health disorders.
At its heart is the free, NHS-approved Mind Plan, available on the below website. By answering five short questions people get a personalised mental health action plan, providing practical tips to help them deal with stress and anxiety, boost their mood, sleep better and feel more in control. People can also join a 4-week email support programme where they can get reminders, swap in new tips and are encouraged to make looking after their mental well-being part of their everyday routine.
