Would your school benefit from raising awareness of mental health support available and extra resources for assemblies/workshops? Could your school run a "hats on for mental health" fundraising day? 

Our Hats On for Mental Health campaign is designed to support schools in raising awareness about mental health and to fundraise for Coventry and Warwickshire Mind at the same time! 

Schools and organisations throughout Coventry and Warwickshire will be wearing hats, raising awareness about mental health, and fundraising for us.

Fundraise for us and your school/organisation will receive a set of resources for free!

You could make a real difference to people who have mental health issues in our community.

  • £50 can provide an assembly to children and young people discussing the importance of mental health and talking about it openly.
  • £30 can provide a play therapy session for one child experiencing mental ill health.
  • £20 supports two people in crisis at one of our services, ensuring that support is provided in their time of need.
  • £10 can provide a Safe and Well check for one person. This helps to check that they are safe, have good mental health, that they have adequate support networks, and that their needs are met.

In 2021/22:

  • We delivered 56,301 support sessions (including almost 35,000 face-to-face support sessions), across 27 Coventry and Warwickshire services,
  • We supported 35,770 service users, that's over 23,000 adults and over 12,000 children and young people!

Together, we will achieve even more. To support our work simply wear a hat and ask people to donate to Coventry and Warwickshire Mind.


3. Commissioners survey for young people - Have your say! 

Please see the attached poster and link to the survey here: Survey link 

The Commissioners (people who organise funding and services across the area) want to hear about what young people need/want from mental health services. 

They have an MS Form with the aim of capturing people’s ideas on the vision for our system and its priorities.

It would be amazing if you were able to share the survey with young people. It should only take a few minutes and they could do it in a form time or as part of PSHE lesson etc. 

Hearing the voice of young people in service design is super important!
