Mind in Somerset
Taunton, UK
1 in 4 of us will suffer from poor mental health during our lives. The pressures of modern day life, social media and other factors are seeing an increase in those suffering from poor mental health across all age ranges. As much as 40% of all work related ill health is due to stress, depression or anxiety. According to the World Health Organisation, by 2020 depression will be the second most common cause of ill health after heart disease. Mind in Somerset is here for you. Our vision is to promote good mental health and wellbeing and champion a greater understanding of mental health issues in the community. We are affiliated to national Mind but we receive no funding from them to support the services we deliver in Somerset. Mind in Somerset resulted from the merger of Minds in Taunton/West Somerset and South Somerset in Oct 2018. For a long time the two charities had been working closely together and it became clear that in order to serve the whole community of Somerset we would best succeed as one, sharing our services across the whole county. Mind in Somerset has offices in Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater & Shepton Mallet. You can access our services and support by phoning us and/or filling in a self-referral form. There is more information on our website which also highlights ways in which you can fundraise for us: www.mindinsomerset.org.uk
