Closure of Mind Halton

It is with regret and deep sadness that we must announce the closure of Mind Halton. We are unable to accept any new referrals and the office will close Friday 30th August 2024

Unfortunately, the charity is no longer financially viable. The challenging economic climate coupled with the lack of insufficient ongoing funding means that we must close with immediate effect

This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone affected, particularly our, volunteers and service users who are at the heart of everything we do. We extend our sincere thanks to all those who have worked hard in supporting us and raising funds to help sustain our work

Anyone affected by this closure and concerned about their health and wellbeing can get help from these services:
- People in crisis can can now access services through NHS 111, then press 2 or online via nhs.uk.external
-If you're feeling suicidal or at risk of self-harm can go to any hospital A&E or call 999
-The Samaritans provide a free, confidential 24 hour phone support by calling 116 123 or emailing jo@samaritans.org

This is focused on looking at anxiety. As we know it's exam season we thought we'd add some links to information around exam stress and support that's available for both the pupils taking exams and their parents. It's often difficult as a parent to know how to support your child during this stressful period as we know from past experience!

Remember to look after yourselves and each other and try to take some time out to do something you enjoy. Good luck to everyone involved!

Anxiety is a natural response to stressful situations and is there to keep us safe. However it can start to impact our lives and stop us from living it fully. This Mental Health Awareness week is focusing on anxiety and how to cope with it.
