We are excited to share that we have received a Mind Network Excellence Award in recognition of our efforts in ‘Promoting Positive Attitudes Towards Mental Health.’
The Mind Network Excellence Awards honour local Mind organisations that have undergone review for the Mind Quality Mark (Mind’s quality assurance standard for local Minds) within the past year and have exceeded expectations, achieving a level of excellence deemed by the judges.
What is the Mind Quality Mark?
The Mind Quality Mark (MQM) is a rigorous quality assurance standard which sets the bar of good practice and legal compliance for all organisations in the Mind Federation.
Once every three years, local Minds are reviewed against the MQM standards. The reviews are led by people with lived experience of mental health problems and senior leaders from other local Minds. They are based on a robust assessment of documentary evidence as well as interviews with and survey responses from trustees, staff, volunteers, and people who use services.
To achieve the Mind Quality Mark, local Minds must be well-run organisations delivering safe, life-changing support for people with mental health problems.
Emma Dallimore, Chief Executive at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and North East Lincolnshire Mind said:
“I was immensely proud to accept the ‘Promoting Positive Attitudes to Mental Health’ award at the Mind Excellence Awards this year, on behalf of Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and North East Lincolnshire Mind. This recognition is not only a reflection of our collective efforts, but a testament to the unwavering dedication of our remarkable team, who tirelessly champion mental health both within and beyond our organisation. This award reminds us of the importance of promoting positive attitudes to mental health in everything that we do. By promoting positive attitudes and cultures, we’re creating safe and supportive environments where everyone feels comfortable seeking help and talking openly about mental health.”
