My Mind, Charity Impact Awards Video 2021

This video has been produced as part of the 2021 Charity Impact Awards, which celebrates the work of charities, community groups and voluntary organisations that have changed Ireland for the better. This video gives MyMind the opportunity to showcase the meaningful impact that our work has had on the lives of thousands of people, since we were established in 2006 but also during the extremely challenging Covid-19 Pandemic. The Covid-19 Pandemic has had a ravaging effect on mental health in this country. This has also pushed demand for mental health services even further. From the fear of contracting the virus to losing your job or suffering isolation, loneliness or bereavement, it has been a very challenging time for us all. Now, more than ever, the importance of minding our mental health is very clear. It’s clear too that the issues presented by the Pandemic are not new but the Pandemic has acted almost as a catalyst to show precisely the level of support that is needed, but which has unfortunately all too often been sorely missing. In 2020, with the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, MyMind was in a fortunate position to have an online service ready to deploy. Having already made that investment in technology, MyMind was quickly able to move to a full online service with almost no disruption to clients. More than 75% of 2020 service was delivered either by video or telephone and they have seen a similar pattern in 2021. This acceptance of online services across society has truly opened MyMind's services to the entire country, which means they can now can reach more people and make this high-quality, affordable service more widely available. As part of the Government response to the Pandemic, in June 2020, MyMind secured funding from Sláintecare and the HSE Community Operations Mental Health service to provide free online appointments to those affected by the Pandemic. To date, we have delivered over 17,000 free online appointments under this project helping over 3,000 people. This project will continue until the end of the year.
