Story
Cam-mind is Cambridge's oldest mental health charity, providing support to people with mental health problems since 1908.
1 in 4 people will experience mental health problems at some point in their lives. This includes conditions such as depression and anxiety — now the biggest cause of absence from work — together with bipolar disorder, eating disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia, among others.
Mental health problems can happen to anyone, and most people can and do recover. Cam-mind's services are designed to support mental health service users on their road to recovery. These services include supported housing, one-to-one befriending, and skills-building/social activities such as football, gardening, pottery and cookery. These projects are about re-building confidence, providing social support, promoting recovery and preventing isolation.
