Mental Health Friends (18+) We are people of all ages (16+) who have mental health (including carers). Call 116 123 or email [email protected].

www.mentalhealthfriends.co.uk

Mental Health Friends aim is to create communities that comes together to help and support each other. We understand that Mental Health and how we handle it is different and unique for everyone and how you use our local groups is entirely up to you. From friendship and support online, to all events and activities. By being together and not alone, we can find a place of belonging, understanding and friendship that only those who have been there can appreciate, through either lived experience or by caring for someone with mental health. I personally suffer from depression and social anxiety and have for many years and founded Mental Health Friends in February 2019 to offer support and friendship for others with mental health. If you are interested in starting a group in your area under our umbrella, please get in touch. Lots of love

💗 I just want to say a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone at Mental Health Friends for making me feel so welcome and supported when I was feeling lost and alone.

A special thank you to Claire for being so lovely, taking the time to listen to me offload, and making me feel comfortable enough to open up. It honestly means more than you know. ❤️

Thank you all for your kindness, understanding and for making me feel like I'm not alone.

Sometimes, it's the little things and the people who genuinely care that make the biggest difference.

I'm so grateful to have found such a kind, caring and supportive group of people.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
