Change our words, change our world
We want to see a world free from mental health stigma. Our mission is to actively change the way we speak about this crucial topic, so we can dismantle the stigma associated with it.
We believe by changing our words from ‘Mental Health’ to ‘Mind Matters’, negative associations linked to the term ‘Mental’ can be dissolved. At the same time a whole new way of viewing, experiencing and talking about the mind opens up - one of wonder, awe, and curiosity.
We're here to change our culture’s understanding of mental health by deliberately altering the language we use to discuss it

Mind Matters is a growing movement driving social change, empowering minds, and redefining mental health
At Mind Matters we’re cultivating a new perspective on Mental Health with our campaign for change. Currently, the UK is experiencing a mental health crisis, with millions encountering obstacles in accessing vital support.
It's imperative that we address these barriers, dismantle stigma, and collaboratively foster supportive environments with prevention focused strategy
We believe in the power of words. Our ambitious campaign is here to normalise open conversations about matters of the mind by facilitating spaces to express our feelings with intentional language that connects us back together. Our work is values-led and rooted in evidence based research.
Free Mind Matters Resources
Put the theory into practice with our free resources! We’ve carefully designed these supportive resources so you can explore the wonders of the mind, and learn more about pressing topics such as anxiety. Our Mind Matters philosophy provides understanding of our minds free from fear and shame.
Mind Matters Schools are showing how education can embrace this change in language to nurture resilient minds and foster supportive school environments where connection can thrive
We offer a whole school approach, implementing strategies that embed a combination of coaching modalities, wellness practices, and educational workshops.
Becoming a Mind Matters school is an exciting journey that involves staff, children, and parents so we can co-create a nurturing setting where our words shape our world.
Mind Matters supports innovative companies to foster a culture of thriving in the workplace
Our philosophy is simple, yet can change everything. We believe in bettering workplace dynamics by facilitating improved communication and connection among team members. Our workshops empower organisations to create supportive environments through intentional language choices rooted in our Mind Matters core values.
