about us

Mind Map is a young people's project at Brent Mind. The project works hard to raise awareness and understanding of mental health issues and wellbeing. The project aims to:

• increase the number of young people who seek help when they are experiencing mental health difficulties
• reduce the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental illness
• to involve young people at every level of the project

Peer Education Programme

A Peer Educator is someone who is trained to educate others of a similar age. The reason behind it is that young people are more likely to listen to someone they can relate to. Mind Map is constantly recruiting and training young people to become Peer Educators, so they can deliver workshops on mental health topics.

Peer Educators are a valuable part of the Mind Map project. They attend monthly meetings to give feedback on the project, and receive individual supervision to make sure they are getting the most out of the programme.
