Our impact
Mental Health Innovations
Mental Health Innovations is a charity that develops and delivers large scale digital mental health services, combining technology, data insight and clinical expertise.
What it does
Mental Health Innovations powers two national digital services, The Mix and Shout, providing support from early intervention through to de-escalating those in crisis. The Mix is an online support platform for young people, offering self-paced learning, counselling, discussion boards, community and advice on a wide-range of issues. Shout provides free, confidential, 24/7 crisis support via text and has supported more than 1 million people to date.
What we fund
Our funding contributed to the merger that brought The Mix into Mental Health Innovations, helping to scale up digital mental health support for young people and strengthen the UK’s digital mental health infrastructure. This has enabled the creation of a large, real time community mental health dataset. We hope that learning from this will play a useful role in the future development of effective services and mental health policy across the UK.
Our merger with The Mix represented a major step in our mission to transform mental health through innovative, accessible digital support. A huge thank you to the Prudence Trust whose contribution is vital in enabling this move forward in scaling digital mental health innovation.
