MYMENTAL PRESENTS

The Wellbeing Edit

Mind. Body. Community.


A free quarterly digital magazine exploring the pressures that shape our wellbeingβ€”and the support, organisations and ideas that can help before life reaches crisis point.

October 2026 Β· Founding Issue

Thoughtful conversations. Practical support. Organisations worth knowing.

LATEST ISSUE


Inside the founding issue

Our first issue asks what support could look like if we paid attention earlierβ€”not only when someone reaches crisis.

MENTAL HEALTH

Β£343 million for mental health

Will new community services help people early enough?

PHYSICAL HEALTH

When care is months away

Physiotherapy waiting lists, private costs and what other forms of movement support may offer.

GRIEF & LOSS

Living with grief

A conversation with The Good Grief Trust about bereavement, connection and moving forward without leaving love behind.

HOUSING & COMMUNITY

A place to begin

Why stable housing, thoughtful preparation and continuing support matter when care-experienced young people move into adulthood.

Also inside: MyMental's 2027 counselling placement plans, developing free counselling spaces and our plans for in-person physiotherapy from 2028.

WHY THE MAGAZINE EXISTS
Support exists. But people do not always know where to find it.

While growing MyMental, I began to realise just how much support is available that many of us never hear about. There are organisations doing valuable work, free and low-cost services hidden within communities, and people offering practical help that could make a genuine difference.

Not everything is expensive. Not everything costs money at all. But when support is difficult to discover or understand, it may as well not be there.

I created The Wellbeing Edit to help bring those services, organisations and conversations into view.

MIND, BODY AND COMMUNITY

We cannot separate the parts of life that affect us

I
Mind
Anxiety, low mood, grief, identity, emotional pressure and the need to be heard.
II
Body
Pain, movement, sleep, health conditions, physical confidence and access to appropriate care.
III
Community
Housing, money, education, work, relationships, culture, safety and belonging.
Physical pain can affect the mind. Anxiety can be felt throughout the body. Low mood can bring isolation, while community can help us reconnect. Everything linksβ€”but our systems do not always show us how.
WHAT READERS CAN EXPECT

More than wellbeing advice

  • Real-life pressures including housing, money, work, education, identity, relationships and physical health.
  • Interviews with charities, community organisations and people doing meaningful work.
  • Mental- and physical-health developments explained in accessible language.
  • Practical information that helps readers understand their options.
  • Free and low-cost services that deserve to be better known.
  • Honest questions about prevention, access and why people are reaching crisis.
  • Future MyMental programmes, opportunities and community updates.

This is not about presenting a perfect version of wellbeing. It is about making useful support easier to see.
