Leading change and growth in mental health education and illness prevention for young people
Working to achieve a stronger recognition of mental health education at parliamentary level in the UK
Following extensive research and consultation, The Trust believes that, in order to both eradicate stigma and develop effective in-school and community mental health programmes, every youth and young adult organisation needs to initiate a mindEducation “journey”.
MindEducation is a generic term for school and community based emotional wellbeing and mental health literacy programmes. The purpose of The MindEd Trust is to promote and assist in the creation of mindEducation programmes within all educational establishments.
With no overheads, no employees and no direct services, The MindEd Trust is explicitly designed to maximise the flow of capital and expertise into the mental health system for young people whilst simultaneously amplifying the effect of every pound donated for optimum impact. ​
The MindEd Trust is an England based Registered Charity (No. 1163922). ​The Trust is profoundly grateful for its many supporters and sponsors, but remains reliant on donations. Small contributions can make a big difference. 
Mental illness treatment is very expensive – one of the very reasons the Trust is concentrated on prevention and reducing the burden of adolescent mental illness on the public health system.

​Prevention is not only incredibly effective, it is also comparatively cheap to promote and implement. £10,000 in purchasing medical equipment and expertise is insignificant. Properly applied, £10,000 in school and locality prevention can touch hundreds of people and entire communities.

This is a fundamental operating principle of the Trust – to reach as many people as possible in the most cost-effective manner.
