North Staffs Mind is a mental health charity supporting adults, children, and young people, giving them opportunities to access high quality services that can make a difference.

Unfortunately, continuation of funding has not as yet been secured for one of North Staffs Mind's projects: the MindZone drop-in service.

Mindzone has changed the lives of over 500 local young people since its start in 2008. The threat of Mindzone disappearing has prompted the group of young people who attend the service to fundraise in an effort to raise our profile and some funds to try and save the service - Their idea was to complete the 'Tough Mudder' Midlands event on May 31^st 2015, however, that plan did not work out as the cost of the event was quite high and the commitment was curbed due to exams - instead, we are now doing the JCB Mud Run on Saturday June 27th!!

MindZone is a unique self-development service where we create a safe, supportive, and confidential environment for young people between the ages of 11 and 19. At MindZone, we run workshops around mental health and emotional well-being, and offer immediate drop-in one-on-one counselling services.

The MindZone workshops have been created to provide psychoeducation in an interactive and growth-promoting manner, and have been tailored to best suit the needs of young people in our society today. We explore concepts such as anxiety, anger, bullying, self-esteem, leadership, thoughts values and beliefs, self-harm, depression, positive mental health, suicidal ideation, relationships, self-care, etc. We create a space in which young people can come together in small groups and safely discuss issues that are pertinent to them in a confidential and boundaried manner, learn about themselves, explore current issues, and get the support they need.

We are here to help young people develop, explore, and grow in positive ways, and support them in empowering themselves to create a better life for themselves. Please join us in continuing to promote and protect good mental health for all young people across Staffordshire.

Thank you for your support and have a lovely day!:)
