Mental Wellbeing
A private place to talk things through, understand what is affecting you, and build a realistic plan — without waiting for a crisis to justify it.
The average wait is 11 years. MIKE is built to shorten it.
On average, people in the UK wait 11 years between first noticing something feels off and actually talking to someone about it. Drag to wherever you are — there's no wrong answer.
The UK average is 11 years — so wherever you are on this scale, you're not behind.
Source: Mental Health Foundation / MHFA England research on help-seeking delay, widely cited as an 11-year average gap between symptom onset and first talking to someone. This is general context, not a personal assessment — MIKE does not diagnose or measure how long you've waited.
