Manchester Mind, founded in 1989, is an independent local mental health charity with the slogan "Supporting better mental health for everyone." They are dedicated to delivering services to young people and adults, striving for a city that promotes good mental health and treats individuals with mental health issues positively and fairly.
With a commitment to improving the lives of those with mental health needs, Manchester Mind offers an array of services. These include CYP, a young person's service for 15-25 year olds, providing free services such as counseling, volunteering, and peer support. Additionally, they offer free and impartial advice on welfare benefits, housing, and debt to those with mental health needs living in Manchester.
Furthermore, the organization's involvement extends to supporting Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust in the delivery of Assertive Outreach through their Manchester Engagement Team. They also provide free mental health training for Manchester residents and a variety of open-access and short courses on mental health and wellbeing for employers in the region. Addressing food poverty for individuals with mental health problems is another initiative undertaken by Manchester Mind through their "Food for All" program.
As an Health Care and Health and Wellness entity, Manchester Mind embodies a positive approach to mental health, challenging stereotypes and discrimination to promote the health and wellbeing of those affected by mental distress. More information about their services is available on their website.
