This World Mental Health Day, we’re proud to share a sneak peek of our new short film.
The official theme for World Mental Health Day 2026 is “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change”, and we can think of no better way to mark the day than by sharing the story of one of the people we’ve supported through our Advocacy Service.
For more than 50 years, Mind in Salford has worked alongside local people experiencing mental health challenges, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are upheld. This powerful short film features a service user sharing their lived experience and the difference advocacy support made during a difficult time in their life.
The film also includes reflections from our CEO, who shares the story of Mind in Salford, our impact across the city, and our ongoing commitment to putting lived experience at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this story to life and to those who continue to share their experiences to help create understanding, challenge stigma and inspire change.
🎥 Watch our sneak peek and hear a real voice behind the theme: “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change.”
