Your Voice (young peoples advocacy) - Your Voice provides free independent advocacy to young people aged between 11-18 yrs in the Carlisle and Eden areas. Young people experiencing mental and emotional distress often don’t feel listened to, understood or properly informed. That’s why we want to assist young people to have a voice. We will encourage and support them to speak up. We want children and young people to feel more confident and better equipped to express themselves. You can learn how to access this service on our website - under children and young peoples service's

Training - The wide range of training solutions we offer such as Mental Health First Aid, for adults and young people, help us educate the general public, organisations, schools, businesses and organisations in mental health. In doing so we hope to help end the stigma surrounding mental health and make people more accepting of mental health in the community. By educating more people about mental health without doubt more people will feel comfortable accessing support or guidance they need. Because anyone facing a mental health problem should get the support and respect they deserve. Learn more about the training we offer on our website cemind.org

Yesterday we had a blast at The Appleby Hub interviewing for ITV Border 🎬 We shared with them the importance of support groups and 1-1 mental health support in Cumbria.

We focused on:
- Communities coming together
- Reducing social isolation
- Providing mental health support in under-funded areas
- The importance of opening up about your mental health

We came together with Growing Well, Shared Lives Westmorland & Furness, Dementia Independent Living, Denise, a local Health and Wellbeing Coach, and the Hub team to deliver another successful Wellbeing Café, and spread mental health awareness 💪

It will never not be a wholesome experience to come together for walks, talks, crafts, games, lunch, and a good natter with the folks of Appleby and Eden.

Next Appleby Hub date: June 2nd 📅💙

We had a great Thoughtful Tuesday session with Carlisle Eden Mind today - Shared Lives Westmorland & Furness, Growing Well & Westmorland and Furness Council Health & Wellbeing Coach Denise also joined us. Border TV popped in so you may see us on the TV soon!

We chatted, crafted, played dominoes, MIND & Denise were able to provide private 1-2-1 sessions - these can be booked through MIND or just ask on the day.

After a walk we all enjoyed a tasty soup and cheese scones.

Next week’s session is for parents & carers of SEN children - it doesn’t matter how old the child is! We will be making clay bears.

💙 Betsy did it! 💙 82 laps of Trinity school fields, surrounded by the support of her friends and peers who joined her for laps, helped raise money, and showed up to raise awareness.

Betsy raised over £7000 for Carlisle Eden Mind and Every Life Matters, the outcome of which will ripple through both organisations, and play a substantial part in supporting the local community. No amount of thanking will be enough, but from all of us at Carlisle Eden Mind, we send the biggest thank you to Betsy, Trinity School, and everyone who made this day so special.

Donations are still open for those who'd like to make one. You can find the link on our page, or copy and paste this: https://www.gofundme.com/f/thalia-morgan-su***de-awarness

💙 Tomorrow is the day Betsy will complete 82 laps of the Trinity School fields in honour of her late sister Thalia. 💙

Please read her story below:

"On February 13th 2026 my entire family's life was changed forever. My sister Thalia, 21, took her own life. After a long battle with her mental health, losing our dad, and more recently our brother to su***de, her pain and sadness became too heavy for her to carry.

I, along with the support of friends and family, will be completing 82 laps of trinity’s playing fields on the 30th April 2026. My sister attended trinity from 2015-2022 and spent 82 months as a student here.

Thalia made an impact on so many people’s life’s. She was a ray of sunshine, full of compassion. It was impossible not to laugh when she was around. Her smile could light up a room and she always put her friends and family first.

Su***de doesn’t just take one life — it sends shockwaves through families, friends, and entire communities. It leaves behind birthdays with empty chairs, late-night conversations that will never happen, and questions that don’t always have answers. For parents, siblings, and loved ones, the grief is heavy and complicated — filled with love, heartbreak, confusion, and longing all at once.
Friends lose the person who made them laugh, who showed up, who mattered. Communities lose a bright light, future dreams, and the impact that person would have made. The silence that often surrounds su***de can make that grief even lonelier.

Breaking the stigma is so important. We have to talk about mental health openly and without shame. We have to create spaces where people feel safe saying “I’m not okay.” Conversations can save lives. Compassion can save lives. Listening can save lives.

By honouring her memory and sharing her story, we are choosing love over silence. We are choosing awareness over stigma. And we are reminding others that they are not alone."

💙 Betsy is donating 50% of the money raised to Carlisle Eden Mind, and 50% of the money raised to Every Life Matters. If you're in a position to donate, every £1 is appreciated, but just reading Betsy's story has raised su***de awareness, so thank you. 💙

🚨 Betsy is just £175 away from her target of £4000! 🚨

Betsy is raising money for Carlisle Eden Mind and Every Life Matters in honour of her sister, Thalia, who sadly died by su***de. Betsy will be completing 82 laps of Trinity playing fields on April 30th to symbolise the 82 months Thalia spent as a student at Trinity School.

"By honouring her memory and sharing her story, we are choosing love over silence. We are choosing awareness over stigma. And we are reminding others that they are not alone."

The team at Carlisle Eden Mind are behind you all the way Betsy, you've got this! We all send a huge thank you for this incredible fundraiser.
