Healthy Minds Information Service Healthy Minds Information Service

Promoting mental wellbeing; providing information to people who have experienced mental distress

To provide a range of services to people who have experienced or been affected by mental distress. We have a holistic approach to wellbeing (rooted in the recovery model) and support people in taking an active part in their recovery and wellbeing
Why the community needs this charity

We formed in response to a need identified by MPower, a mental health service user forum group. Our consultation further demonstrated a clear need for voluntary sector mental wellbeing services and for greater choice in Calderdale

Results and outcomes

We recently started the Information Service (Nov '09) and are monitoring the numbers of people who use the service and recording their broad area of information need. We hope people will be better able and supported to make informed choices
