Mind believes that accurate, up to date, information
is vital to enable people to make informed choices and
decisions about their mental well being.
Kensington & Chelsea Mind offers a telephone advice
and information service about local mental health and
community resources to members of the public who may
not be familiar with, or know how, to access the support
they need.
Mind is currently expanding their advice and information
service database into an online mental health directory
in order to widen and improve access to information
and resources.
To access Mind's confidential
advice and/or information service please call
020 8964 1333 between 10am
and 12noon, Monday to Friday, or email your enquiry
to enquiries@kcmind.org.uk
. Alternatively, you can visit our online
mental health directory located on the left hand panel.
Please note
that we not offer telephone counselling, casework or
advice services in the formal sense. Our primary
role is to advise and inform the public about serivces
that are available in the area and how to access them.
