Objectives

LLR Mind exists to support and improve the mental health of people from all backgrounds and demographics from across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Mind. We provide a range of services to help people who are struggling with poor mental health, as well as raise awareness of and challenge the stigma associated with mental health problems, and seek to address the causes of poor mental health. 

Activities

Our current services include:

Support Self Help – an early intervention service for adults (18+) experiencing mild to moderate mental health problems. Beneficiaries choose one of 8 pathways based on their current mental health needs and work with a Practitioner to try a range of self-help tools to improve and support their mental wellbeing and create a toolkit of resources that work best for them. The service includes 6 one-to-one sessions which can be delivered online, on the phone, or in person.

Good Mood Groups – drop-in groups designed to reduce isolation and give beneficiaries the opportunity to access mental health support either directly or through signposting. Each group is either open to all or focused on a specific demographic (e.g. Muslim women, people struggling with self-harm, etc) and is tailored to the needs and interests of the communities it serves.

Community Wellbeing Service – a triage and signposting service for adult patients of North West Leicestershire Primary Care Network. During an initial consultation session, staff explore the causes and symptoms of beneficiaries’ poor mental health. They provide support and resources and signpost beneficiaries to more specialist support. Where more in-depth support is needed, an additional 8 sessions can be provided to both develop and progress through a wellness plan.

Workplace wellbeing – we offer a range of training and courses to raise awareness of mental health issues and support individuals and employers to improve mental health in their workplaces.
