Mind believes that providing advice, information and support helps people to take control of their mental health and wellbeing…
Advice, Information & Resources
Mind is often the first place people turn to for advice about mental health problems. We know from the feedback we receive that information can be very difficult to find, particularly at times of crisis. We believe that accurate, up to date information is vital, to enable people to make informed choices and decisions about their mental wellbeing.
Our advice and information service aims to provide one central source of information about health and wellbeing services and resources in Kensington & Chelsea, which people can use easily and readily access.
