You have worked hard to have a positive impact on mental health or wellbeing through your strategy, policies, initiative, working practices or even interventions. We know and understand the sheer drive, determination and effort it takes to have this impact and we want to recognise your work.
Whilst you may see many charters or pledges out there, these are promises, they represent the potential to do something, not evidence of the work and impact that you have made.
The Mental Health Tick addresses this by accrediting you based on the evidence of what you have done. By providing evidence of the impact of the aspect you are seeking mental health accreditation for, we are able to independently accredit you at bronze, silver or gold levels. These aspects are split into microaccreditations, smaller accreditations that assess individual areas of a mental health strategy, such as the embedding of mental health and wellbeing into policies across the organisation.
Within Mental Health and Wellbeing Tick Accreditation there are 12 microaccreditations. Each can be applied for separately through our portal.
Below is the guidance for each Mental Health and Wellbeing Tick showing the evidence required for Bronze, Silver or Gold accreditation in each aspect.
Mental health is taken as a spectrum from positive to negative, poor mental health is one end, however a mental health difficulty is when someone is unable to cope with poor mental health. Wellbeing can include mental health, physical health, or even financial health. Wellbeing initiatives seek to maintain wellbeing; mental health provision seeks to offer support to those experiencing difficulties.
