What sets TBYM apart

➡️ We make support available through multiple channels
People can access trained volunteers through messaging, voice and video, rather than being restricted to a single method of communication.

➡️ We offer dedicated, appointment-based mental health support
Rather than relying solely on an immediate-response model, TBYM’s service is primarily appointment-based, giving people a scheduled period of dedicated attention from a volunteer.

➡️ Our support is completely free
TBYM does not charge people to access its support service, and no referral is required.

➡️ We support people without requiring a referral
People can access TBYM directly rather than needing to come through a GP, NHS service, school, employer or another organisation.

➡️ We are volunteer powered

➡️ We provide a route for organisations to refer people into support
Through MHSS Refer, organisations can refer individuals directly into TBYM’s support service using a dedicated system.

➡️ We’re designed to sit alongside the wider mental health system - providing support to people who may be waiting for other services, without attempting to replace clinical or statutory services.

➡️ We meet people where they are.
The service is built around giving people different ways to communicate and letting them choose what feels most accessible to them.

➡️ We combine human connection with digital accessibility.

➡️ We have built a national service from a volunteer-powered model.

➡️ We built one of the UK’s most accessible volunteer-led support models, bringing messaging, voice and video together in one free service.

We’re looking to build more partnerships 🤝

Take Back Your Mind UK is looking to connect with mental health, community and wellbeing organisations who share our commitment to creating healthier minds and making conversations about mental health more accessible.

We believe organisations can achieve more when they work together.

Whether it’s through:
• Referrals and signposting
• Shared resources and expertise
• Joint projects and campaigns
• Volunteer opportunities
• Community outreach
• Training and development
• Or simply creating stronger networks of support

We’re open to exploring what collaboration could look like.

Take Back Your Mind UK is a non-clinical mental health organisation working to tackle stigma, start conversations and provide accessible opportunities for people to talk about their mental health.

If you’re part of an organisation that thinks we could work well together, we’d love to hear from you.

Sometimes the most valuable thing we can build isn’t another service. It’s a better-connected system of support.

A statement from our Founder:

“This is deeply saddening news.

Papyrus has been an incredibly important resource for young people experiencing suicidal thoughts - myself included a number of years ago - and those in desperate need of someone to turn to.

Its work has undoubtedly helped save lives and provided hope at some of the darkest moments.

Yet once again, we’re seeing the immense strain on the charity sector. Organisations delivering critical, often life saving support are facing increasingly difficult financial and operational pressures.

The loss, or even significant reduction, of a service like Papyrus would be felt enormously by young people, friends, and families across the UK.

We should be asking ourselves how we got to a point where organisations providing such vital support are struggling simply to survive.

The need for accessible mental health support hasn’t gone, and will not go away.

If those affected do need someone to talk to, Take Back Your Mind UK is here for it 💙

A deeply worrying moment for the charity sector.

My heart goes out to the Papyrus team 💜”
