About TBYM.
Take Back Your Mind UK is a non-profit organisation on a mission to Create Healthier Minds. We raise awareness, challenge stigma, and provide free, meaningful support to anyone who needs it, because mental health should never be a barrier to living well.
We believe that open, honest conversation is critical for change. That's why we educate, we listen, and we show up, helping individuals recognise the signs of mental health challenges in themselves and others, offering practical tools for self-care and wellbeing, and tackling the stigma that still stops too many people from seeking help.
Our work is shaped by three commitments: supporting individuals through personalised services, equipping people with accessible resources, and partnering with organisations, colleges, universities, and employers to embed mental health awareness and support where it matters.
None of it would be possible without our volunteers. Today, over 500 trained volunteers across the UK power our mission, and that number keeps growing, because when people believe in something, they show up for it.
A bit more about us.
2018
Founded by George Griffiths
Take Back Your Mind UK was founded in December 2018 by George, driven by a simple belief: that everyone deserves access to mental health support, free of charge and free of stigma. He saw the gaps, the barriers, the stigma, and decided not to wait for it to change.
Setting out to build something different, George established an organisation committed to meeting people where they are and helping on their journey to healthier minds.
What began as one person's determination to do things differently, today, TBYM has trained hundreds of volunteers and touched thousands of lives. A testament to the belief that support and a healthier mind should never be out of reach.
Our Structure
Responsibly led
TBYM is governed by a Board of Trustees who hold responsibility for the organisation's direction, values, and compliance with charitable law. Day-to-day operations are led by a dedicated leadership team, ensuring our services and volunteers are supported effectively. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and accountability in everything we do.
What We Do
It's exciting
Support Service
Sometimes you just need someone to talk to; someone who will really listen. Through our messaging, voice, and video service, our trained volunteers offer personalised support to anyone who reaches out. Our appointment-based model means you get dedicated, consistent support, in a space that's safe, confidential, and built around you.
Information & Resources
Our Mental Health Library brings together practical, honest resources on everything from managing anxiety and low mood, to self-care strategies and helpline signposting. It's freely available to everyone, and we're constantly working to expand and improve it because access to good information shouldn't come with a price tag.
Awareness
Mental health is complex, messy, and often misunderstood, and we think that's exactly why it needs to be talked about openly. We cover the topics that don't always make it into mainstream conversation: the hidden impacts of everyday life, the stigmas that still exist, and the experiences that too many people quietly carry alone. We believe that honest conversation is where changing narratives begin.
