Mind in Haringey

"Providing support to anyone in Haringey with mental health issues"

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

Did you know? - One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem in any given year. Three young people in every class of 30 in the UK have a diagnosable mental health problem. Nearly nine out of 10 people with mental health problems in England and Wales experience discrimination in at least one area of their lives. Only a quarter of people with mental health problems in the UK receive support each year.

Everything we say and do is rooted in the experiences of people who know what it’s like to live with a mental health problem. That includes the thousands of people who rely on our local and national services, our incredible supporters and campaigners, our fundraisers, volunteers, staff and trustees. Their experiences bring our work to life. We provide life-saving information when people need it most. We bang on doors and call for change; we demand that people get the support they need and the respect they deserve. And we show that there are actions we can all take to challenge stigma and transform experiences of mental health for the better. 

We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Because of Mind, millions more people have access to advice and support thanks to our information and services nationally and locally, in England and Wales.  We’re building on change, but we know there is much more to do. Our local Minds support over 513,000 people across England and Wales. Their services include supported housing, crisis helplines, drop-in centres, employment and training schemes, counselling and befriending. 

“On a couple of occasions, I’ve been close to ending my life, and just reading a story online of somebody in a similar situation has given me a small glimmer of hope to keep going. To try again the next day. To choose hope. It’s also given me wise, clear information when I’ve wanted to make sense of my debilitating condition and advice on things that might help.”

"I’d like to thank the person I spoke to on the phone, for the help that was provided. You’ve put me on my first step to getting better."

"After being unemployed for over a year and having a year of total rejection, it was great to work with people who valued me and who wanted me to work for them. My volunteering experience has been totally positive and has been so much more rewarding than just simply having something to put on my CV" - Michael Sugrue, Volunteer Administrative Assistant

Counselling

There are times in most of our lives when we experience distressing events and feelings which seem to have no end or solution in sight. This can be due to a particular circumstance such as bereavement, difficult relationships, stress or illness but sometimes we have no idea what is making us feel the way we do. All we know is that life has become uncomfortable, difficult or even intolerable. It may not be possible to talk to friends or family and you may feel that no-one is listening to you or understands. Many people find that “talking treatments” such as counselling and psychotherapy with a trained professional provides the opportunity to make sense of their individual circumstances, leaving them better equipped to cope for the future. Our counsellors and psychotherapists work from a variety of approaches and aim to help you reach your own understanding of your difficulties and to find your own ways of dealing with them in a non-judgemental and confidential setting.

Mental Health First Aid Training

We are currently delivering Mental Health First Aid training(MHFA), which is fully funded for front line staff who live, work, or volunteer in the London Borough of Haringey. The Adult Two Day MHFA course teaches participants how to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues and ways to respond appropriately. This is particularly relevant for those that work with the public, such as GP surgery staff and police and fire officers, but is useful to anyone. The two-day standard course takes place once per month at Mind in Haringey. Up to 16 places are available on each course. These courses are extremely popular and regularly fill up in advance - please contact us to find out if places are still available on your chosen course. For full details of the courses and a list of upcoming dates, please download the course description Mental Health First Aid.To find out availability or to reserve a place, please email [email protected] or call us on 0208 340 2474

Please download the document Mental Health First Aid.for more information. Contact Deborah King (Course Instructor) , Lynette Charles (Course Instructor/CEO Mind in Haringey) or Administration

Putting mental health on the school agenda

This year, we also began planning how we can better support children and young people to improve their mental health. We know that three in every class of 30 pupils in the UK have a diagnosable mental health problem. Yet as few as 4% approach their GP for support. Almost 60 local Minds already deliver services to children and young people. Some of these are in schools. We want to increase this type of support so everyone involved in school life can look after themselves and reach out to others.
