If you’re 18+ and struggling with your mental health, Mental Health Cafes can help you make plans to enable you to feel safer, as well as explaining who you can turn to for help in your local community.

Alongside emotional support, they’ll also work with you to help you manage your own mental health so that you can start to feel more in control.

Everyone’s different, so they’ll give you a choice of ways you might like to receive support from us and you can decide what’s best for you. For example, you may want:

-A safe and relaxing space where you can be yourself and take part in gentle activities

-One-to-one support with a member of our team to explore ways to cope and how to manage your mental health

-Practical advice and information about other services that might be helpful to you

We're open Wednesdays 5:45-8:45pm and Thursdays 12-3pm.

“When I was experiencing intrusive suicidal thoughts after the birth of my daughter, I found the idea of speaking out impossible. I felt terrified that once I said it out loud, I’d never be able to take it back. Reaching out to Shout anonymously felt like a much easier first step.”

When new mum Leanne texted Shout, she was struggling with postnatal depression and didn’t know how to tell anyone how bad things had become. Knowing she only had to type the word 'Shout' to get the conversation started removed a barrier and allowed her to talk about how she felt.

“Speaking to a Shout Volunteer definitely helped reduce the power of my dark thoughts and the hold they had over me,” she says. “Sometimes, just writing the thoughts I was having reduced their power, which helped me carry on for another day.”

With encouragement and support, Leanne found ways to manage her thoughts and slowly began to recover.

Now, she’s studying to become a mental health nurse and is using her experience to help others.
