Who are Derbyshire Mind?

We are an independent mental health charity within the national Mind network. Our focus is on improving mental health and wellbeing for people across Derby and Derbyshire.

What is Mental Wellbeing?

Your mental wellbeing is about how you’re feeling right now, and how well you can cope with daily life. Our wellbeing can change from moment to moment, day to day, or month to month. Sometimes it changes because of things that happen to us, and sometimes it changes for no reason at all.

It can affect the way we feel about ourselves and others, and about the things we face in our lives. Having good mental wellbeing doesn’t mean you’re always happy or unaffected by your experiences; but poor mental wellbeing can make it more difficult to cope with daily life.

What Services do we Offer?

We provide a range of advocacy and community mental wellbeing services designed to support local people with mental health problems.

Advocacy Services

Our Independent Advocacy Services, funded by Derbyshire County Council, provide support for Derbyshire residents to have their voice heard when important decisions are being made about their lives, or to overcome issues that are impacting on their health and wellbeing.

Community Wellbeing Services

Our services can look like many things and come in many forms, but our goal is always to provide activities that help you to feel part of a community, boost your mood, enjoy life, and improve your mental wellbeing.

Our community wellbeing services, funded through donations, include our weekly MindSpace walks, our fortnightly Mindful Crafts sessions, and our monthly Green Connections Days.
