About us
Who we are
We’re a small grassroots non-profit focusing on tailored therapy for child victims of Domestic Abuse. Our mission is to support those who’ve experienced childhood Domestic Abuse, addressing trauma and mental health struggles.
As a response to the UK’s domestic abuse crisis, we specifically target the 1.8 million children affected, acknowledging that 1 in 3 may face mental health issues linked to witnessing abuse at home.
Founded in 2013 by our Managing Director, Natasha Benjamin, who faced her own mental health challenges due to a similar upbringing, Free Your Mind CIC is dedicated to empowering children and young people through qualified practitioners with lived experience. We aim to help them overcome trauma and thrive, countering the long-term effects of Domestic Abuse.
We are now launching weekly youth wellbeing events in Ilford, London, and are currently looking for volunteers to support us with these events! These will be every Wednesday 3pm-7pm.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Free Your Mind CIC is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among
our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. The organisation is committed against unlawful discrimination of our service users and staff.
Our organisation is headed by Natasha Benjamin, our Managing Director - we also have a board of 5 directors. 80% of these directors are from Black and Asian Ethnic Minority backgrounds and have lived experience of domestic abuse, whilst 60% of these directors are Black women.
Our senior management leadership staff team is headed up by our MD, plus our Fundraising & Partnerships Manager and our Policy & Social Work Counsellor (the latter acts as a bridge between us and social workers - who we receive service users referrals from; they are also one of our designated safeguarding leads). 100% of our senior management leadership staff are women and are from Black and racially Minoritised backgrounds. 70% of our senior management leadership staff, including our MD are Black women, with lived experience of domestic abuse.
