Mind was originally known as the National Association for Mental Health (NAMH), founded in

1946[4] from three voluntary organisations that provided services for the "maladjusted,
emotionally disturbed or mentally handicapped to any degree."[5] The name MIND was
introduced in 1972, and the lowercase version "Mind" was introduced in the 1990s.
The National Association for Mental Health was formed (initially as national Council) by the
merging of the following three organisations toward the end of the second world war:

Central Association for Mental Welfare (CAMW)

National Council for Mental Hygiene (NCMH)

Child Guidance Council (CGC)
