Services will continue to help during lockdown

Following The Government’s announcement of a national lockdown, we want to confirm that our services will remain open and will continue to help people in person, over the phone and on-line.

The lockdown began yesterday, Monday 4 January, and is set to last through to at least mid-February. We are still here to help, including with COVID-safe, face-to-face services, running as they currently are. 

We have a dedicated team who are working hard to maintain and step-up our mental health support services in these difficult times. We are doing everything we can to ensure this support is safe and effective, and to meet the increased demand we have seen throughout the pandemic. 

We are here for you. To find out more about our services, head to the support for you section of our website. 

Please call us on 01274 730 815 or email [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns about our services.

To talk to someone about your mental health, please call our freephone helpline, Guide-Line, on 08001 884 884.

In the latest edition of our client newsletter Wri In the latest edition of our client newsletter Write Mind, Ian reflects on the lessons he's learnt from lockdown.

"Not being able to see who I want, whenever I want, has made me more alert to having better and more genuine connections around me," he writes.

"We don’t know what’s around the corner and all of a sudden, you realise that connection you took for granted might only be for a limited time and you can never get it back. 

"These last 12 months have taught me to cherish each one as I have connected and even reconnected with those I know and care about."

In the latest edition of our client newsletter Wri In the latest edition of our client newsletter Write Mind, David talks about his experiences of mental health deterioration after having COVID-19, and how getting support has helped him.

"Constant changes in my senses around taste and smell have been causing massive anxiety attacks  suddenly brought on by something not tasting or smelling right," he writes.

"Through the last six months, things became so much worse, but I have now found some hope by being honest and open to a charity like Mind in Bradford, especially the Sanctuary and online chats with such wonderful support when needed."
