Exactly a month ago today, our colleagues Anne and Nadia attended Parliament as representatives of a delivery model that focuses on open-access mental health support.

Together with other local Minds, National and MPs, we are proud to be highlighting the value in this approach.

This , we wanted to highlight our Mind Forward service, which represents this approach excellently.

Mind FORWARD is an accessible, focused, values-based, one-at-a-time psychotherapeutic therapy approach that provides “help at the point of need” rather than “help at the point of service availability.”

Clients are seen promptly following referral without unnecessary screening or exclusion, enabling them to access timely therapeutic support focused on their immediate needs, strengths, and aspirations.

Mind FORWARD aims to make the session count by facilitating self-acceptance and compassion, clarity and specificity of focus, values alignment, effective problem-solving and solutions, and autonomy/empowerment.

While traditional services provide:
Help at the point of availability
Help as long as you meet criteria
Help as long as you follow service criteria

Mind FORWARD provides:
Help at the point of need
Help with no exclusion criteria
Help with as few barriers as possible

We are excited to work with the wider network to ensure that this form of support is championed now, and in the future.

Someone dies by suicide every 90 minutes in the UK. This is what we are all working to change, and why awareness days like World Suicide Prevention Day is needed.

At Mind CHWF, we offer a variety of services focused on suicide prevention that are available to our communities across the City of London, Hackney and Waltham Forest. This includes crisis care, therapy, bereavement support and training

Mental health challenges don't show up neatly packaged.

They show up alongside worries about money, relationships and everything else life throws at us.

That’s why we shape and deliver our support around you, and around our local community.

We are the local Mind for the City of London, Hackney and Waltham Forest. Learn more about our work and our specialist services by visiting our website: https://www.mindchwf.org.uk/
