We're Norfolk and Waveney Mind, your local Mind mental health charity offering an extensive range of mental health services, along with associated training, advice and information.
We offer a wide range of services including 1:1 talking therapies, gardening projects, access to employment services, mental health training and education for businesses, schools and individuals, residential care and support programmes.
We also work in our communities to raise awareness and challenge stigma and discrimination. Our services support young people aged 14-25, adults and carers affected by mental ill health.
As a local Mind, we are an independent charity - we raise our own funds and we have our own Board of Trustees who are responsible for how we’re run.
Being local, we understand our community and tailor our services in response to what people need most.
Being part of the Mind network means we benefit from shared support, knowledge and ideas. Nationally, Mind gives advice and support to anyone who needs it, campaigns to improve services and raise awareness.
We work in partnership with Mind nationally and the other local Minds in our network to deliver high quality services to anyone who needs them.
