Press kit
My mental health, in brief
Everything a journalist, researcher or partner needs to describe My mental health accurately — our mission, how people join, what the community rooms are, and how to reach us.
Our mission
Nobody in the UK should have to carry a hard day alone. My mental health exists to make support feel ordinary and within reach — a private place to notice how you're doing, honest advice written in plain English, and a community of people who understand what a bad week actually feels like. We're not a replacement for professional care: we're the everyday layer around it, with clear routes to UK crisis services whenever things get heavy.

How people join
1. Create a free account
Register with an email address or sign in with Google — under a minute, no cost.
2. Do a first two-minute check-in
Mood, energy, sleep and a line about the day. Always private to the member.
3. Join a room when ready
Members read and post only in the rooms they choose to join.
The community rooms
Six topic-based spaces, each moderated, with member reporting and clear community guidelines. Only members of a room can read what's said inside it.
General
Day-to-day chat about whatever's on your mind — good days and hard ones.
Anxiety
Racing thoughts, worry spirals and what actually helps in the moment.
Low mood
For the flat, heavy days — company from people who know them well.
Sleep
Sleepless nights, restless minds and gentler wind-down routines.
Wins
Small victories worth celebrating, from getting dressed to big milestones.
Veterans
A dedicated space for UK veterans, with forces-aware support and contacts.
Safety position
My mental health is not a crisis service and is not monitored in an emergency. Every page signposts UK crisis support — Samaritans (116 123), Shout (text 85258), NHS 111 and 999 — and the app includes a dedicated crisis page, a safety check-in workflow and one-tap emergency actions. Members can report any message, and moderators review every report.
