Local charity Dorset Mind educates, challenges stigma & inequality; and promotes recovery from mental health problems. The charity provides support in Dorset for adults and young people each year. Their range of services includes: befriending, counselling, mentoring and support groups. They help people to identify and develop coping skills and importantly, build resilience. The charity also delivers education/training programmes for schools and workplaces. They also offer volunteer roles across Dorset. Mental health problems can affect anyone - they do not discriminate. Around 1 in 4 people will suffer from a form of diagnosable mental health problem during their lifetime. The most common forms of mental health problems are anxiety stress and depression, which have been exaggerated during the pandemic. As we emerge from lockdown, focusing on wellbeing is even more important. Never have our services been needed more!
