Hi
Has anyone had experience of MIND and can tell me what they do?
There is a MIND group locally and I've wondered about going there. I've done all the CBT and messing with meds and stuff like that, and it has helped - but in terms of just getting a bit of general support the MHT isn't really there for that.
I get the impression somewhere like MIND is more geared to that sort of thing, but I don't know much about it - and I'm a bit too much of a coward to just go without asking people first!!!
(assuming it's self referral that is - or do you have to be referred by someone?)

I found MIND to be very good. I did my counselling through them and self referred. I also did my computerised CBT. I have also done 2 courses a self assertiveness one and an anxiety one. The courses were small just 4 or 5 of us and we all suffered with depression. I still met up with someone I met during the course for coffee once a week and the course was about 4 years ago. The staff were lovely and so friendly and welcoming. You can email them (just google MIND in your area) and just ask what they have to offer. S x x x x
