Our vision is that no one in Bradford District and Craven has to face a mental health issue alone.

Bradford District and Craven Mind are a local mental health charity with a rich history spanning over 30 years of delivering person-focused mental health support.

  • We are an independent registered charity that is affiliated with national Mind but we rely on our own resources to provide local services.
  • Our services are tailored to our local population and can be accessed over the phone, online and face-to-face. Support is free to individuals and available every day of the year to anyone who needs help with their mental health and wellbeing.
  • We offer support to everyone in our communities helping people of all ages at each step of their mental health journey from early intervention through to crisis support and recovery.
