It's an exciting time for Health in Mind as we are currently in the final stages of a re-branding process. Our name and vision remain the same but you will start to see our bright new logo appearing on our communications and literature very soon!  

A fantastic new website will also go live in the coming weeks, providing quick and easy access to the information you want, from finding details of the services we offer to signing up to training courses or searching for recruitment and volunteering opportunities.   

In the meantime, please feel free to browse the current website and if you are unable to find what you are looking for, please call us on 0131 225 8508.  

health in mind was established in 1981 under the name of Edinburgh Association for Mental Health. In June 2003 we changed our name to health in mind to reflect the intention of the organisation to include the wider issues of wellbeing within its activities. health in mind is a limited company under guarantee with charitable status. Our principle purpose is to promote the health and well being of people who experience mental health difficulties. We do this by providing an extensive range of services and by working in partnership with others.

For information about our projects, select "Services" from the main menu.

Our work is informed by four key beliefs:

  • That society at large should gain a greater understanding of mental health needs and issues
  • That people have a right to be protected from exploitation and abuse
  • That people with mental health problems have a right to make informed choices and to have their views listened to and understood
  • That people have value and are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect

We put our beliefs into practice by:

  • Providing services for people with mental health difficulties
  • Sponsoring and acting as host to small and/or emerging groups
  • Seeking out opportunities for developing creative and innovative new services
  • Involving users and carers across our activities
  • Convening the Edinburgh Mental Health Forum of voluntary mental health projects
  • Seeking to undertake user-led research so as to inform policy and practice
  • Providing information, advice and practice development seminars
  • Contributing to policy and planning
  • Incorporating equal opportunities and positive action in all we do

health in mind operates mainly in Edinburgh and the Lothians. However some of our activities, in particular our campaign for services to meet the needs of people who have survived childhood sexual abuse, have a national significance and focus.
