​For us, and for the people who get involved with Healthy Minds, every day is Mental Health Day. 
 
Healthy Minds was set up with a mission to reduce stigma so that people feel more comfortable talking about mental health; to provide support for people who need it; and to speak up for positive change.
 
Mental health is the biggest public health issue in our society: poor mental health is both a cause and consequence of inequality. The problems and solutions are complex.

We are excited to announce that Healthy Minds will be extending its Like Minds peer support service to North Halifax.

​This initiative builds on the success of our peer support services already running in other parts of Calderdale, offering vital emotional health and wellbeing support to the local community.

Laura from Like Minds recently met with Dean, a former military man who returned to the UK struggling with anxiety and depression, to learn more about his experiences with Healthy Minds.

​His journey from feeling isolated and unwell to finding community and healing through Healthy Minds is both inspiring and deeply moving. Laura captures Dean’s path from becoming a dedicated volunteer and eventually reclaiming his life through work, family, and a renewed sense of purpose.
