New week!
Wishing everyone the best week it's possible to have. If things aren't going so well and you need someone to talk to, we have volunteers available.
We run on an appointment basis so that time allocation is fair to all.
Note this is not counselling, but listening and support service in a relaxed environment:
The Bay Coffee Company on a Wednesday morning and
Cosi Caffe Paignton Library on a Friday Morning.

Simply message us or email healthymindstorbay@proton.me

We will reply to all messages after the bank holiday.

As we step into the weekend all our group members are taking a break.
We would like to thank all the businesses for their support and hospitality this week :
The Larder Speciality Coffee
The Bay Coffee Company
Brixham Laboratory
Caffe Cosi at Paignton Library

Some of the team are on MHFA training and we thank our brilliant instructor Dave for working with us, we are back again next week for more!

We welcome Emily to our Brixham support and listening team this week.

To those who came to any of our sessions this week, you're doing great! The appointment book is open again next week.

Wishing everyone the best weekend it's possible to have - The Healthy Minds Torbay Team.

One of the things we try to do is see people as quickly as possible, and in person.
We are only a small team of volunteers and some of us work other jobs, so we do our best to check our messages and emails.
Once we do, we then take action to arrange the appointment.
We know sometimes you have to dig deep to even contact us, and sometimes it's really hard to actually walk in and see us, and we respect that.
We may not have all the answers, we may recommend other services but we will work with you listening and sorting a little plan of action.

A new week!
Thank you to those of you who came along to our Gamers Social on Saturday - we have another September date to be arranged.

This week as usual we have our one to one support & listening mornings in Brixham and Paignton. To book your appointment simply message or email us.

We have team members on training courses this week and next week, but are ensuring that our two support sessions are covered and running as usual.

Coming up in September:
We have a new book club starting at Paignton Library on September 5th at 1.30pm and will be every first Friday in the month. This will be a lovely social hub for anyone who has a love of reading.

Mindfulness Mondays will be starting again on September 8th at 1.50pm after our short break. Come along to practice relaxation and mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. All sessions are held at Brixham Labs.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Testimonials!
We are working hard behind the scenes on some positive changes. We are in need of a few testimonials - nothing too long or fancy and can be anonymous. Maybe you have been to one of our workshops or regular groups that you enjoyed or our teams have helped to support you in the past?
Just a few lines will help us, email is the best healthymindstorbay@proton.me
Or even hand written if you are a regular at one of our groups.

Thanks,
The Healthy Minds Torbay Team.
