Mental health and wellbeing support that centres your experience.
We listen. We partner. We shape.
We are a mental health charity run by neurodivergent people, for neurodivergent people.
We’re here to improve mental health and wellbeing by creating support that fits you.
Three ways we make a difference:
Foundations for Wellbeing
Build your own way to wellbeing, with a coach who understands neurodivergence.
Ways to Be
Community built around shared interests. Take part in your own way.
Ways to be Heard
Helping you tell services what you need, and helping services act on what you tell them.
Who are we?
We are a registered charity based in South East England, focused on improving the mental health and wellbeing of neurodivergent people, with or without a diagnosis.
Your voice matters.
We believe neurodivergent people are the experts in their own experience and meaningful support starts by centring that expertise.
We exist to:
Remove barriers and improve access to mental health and wellbeing support.
Make your voice heard - shaping support that recognises your experiences and works for you.
Create opportunities for connection, community and belonging.
We work as a bridge both ways: bringing research and understanding to our community, and carrying lived experience back to the services and professionals who need to hear it.
"Ghost Snack" - Community Member. Neurodivergent people are significantly more likely to face mental health challenges, and the systems meant to help often make things harder.
Too many people are left trying to cope alone.
Services that feel inaccessible or unsafe.
Support that focuses on symptoms, not the whole person.
Pressure to adapt, mask, or “fit in”.
Systems designed around neurotypical norms.
Neurodivergent MiNDs exists to change that.
As many as 7 in 10 autistic people also live with a mental health condition, such as anxiety or depression (Lai et al., 2019).
People with ADHD are 4-5x more likely to experience anxiety, depression or substance use (Cortese et al., 2025).
80% of autistic adults find their GP hard to access, more than double the rate for non-autistic adults (Doherty et al., 2022).
What you tell us matters.
Understanding what life is really like for you, and experiences across our community, helps us shape what we do and what we push for.
The more we share, the more we see we’re not alone - and the more we can drive meaningful change together.
Share your experience with us.
We would really like to hear from you. Whether you’d like to share the challenges you’re currently navigating, your experiences, or what you’d like to see from us, your thoughts are always welcome.
