Support for Yorkshire and The Humber

Founded in 1976, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind has been supporting people with mental health problems across Hull and East Yorkshire for over four decades.

An independent charity governed by a group of local trustees, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind is affiliated to the Mind network made up of over 130 organisations across England and Wales delivering services, campaigning and giving a voice to people with mental health problems, their families, carers and community.

As a charity and a housing association Hull and East Yorkshire Mind has an ambitious vision for the future in which we will not give up until everybody experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

Our VISION is that we won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

Our MISSION is to work with partners to intervene as early as possible, providing advice and support to empower and give hope to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign locally to improve services and reduce stigma and discrimination.

Households into Work is not just a programme to help people find work, it’s about supporting people to get to a point where they start to think about work as a realistic option. Delivered by the Combined Authority, Households into Work provides up to 12 months of support to unemployed Liverpool City Region Residents aged 16 and over, who because of their current circumstances are unable to consider taking up or sustaining employment.

We know that many people would like nothing more than to work and be free of benefits, but because of difficulties in their lives they are prevented from doing so.

This could be because they’re dealing with issues like mental illness, addiction, domestic abuse, debt issues or they have low self-confidence and/or low self-esteem and if left unsupported it is unlikely to ever be resolved.

Hull Community Money Advice is based at Revive Church on Kingswood, and we have been providing help and support to some of the most vulnerable people in our local communities since 2007.

We are financed and supported by Revive Church, and we currently have 4 trained debt advisers who are all volunteers, and we are passionate about rebuilding, renewing and refreshing the lives of those whose lives have been blighted by debt and/or money problems. If you need to speak to someone in confidence about money concerns, then we would love to hear to you… 

We envision a future where everyone counts and individuals and businesses alike have room to grow, through new skills, investment and opportunity.

Being stronger together is part of our core philosophy and we seek to cultivate collaborations and partnerships that generate tangible positive outcomes for people and place.

Our strength lies in our size, breadth and the depth of our experience and our work streams can be broken down into four core areas

• Helping businesses grow
• Skills for individuals and businesses
• Creating jobs 
• Promoting our home town

At Sean’s Place our aim is to improve men’s mental health and well-being across Sefton and Liverpool City Region through sessions specifically identified to improve confidence and self-esteem for men whilst reducing symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety. 

Now more than ever we need to challenge the stigma around male mental health, we do this by providing a place that encourages positive discussions around mental health, in a non clinical, non judgemental setting through a variety of practical, proactive support and programmes.

The therapies we offer are all evidence based and recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines. This means that extensive research and experience prove that they work. However success in therapy largely involves the individual committing to regularly attending appointments and engaging in the work that is discussed in the sessions.

There are many ways that Turning Point Talking Therapies can help you to improve your wellbeing. Everyone who refers themselves for help will receive a screening assessment. This is normally 30-40 minutes and can take place over the telephone or face-to-face. After this screening assessment the clinician will discuss with you which options they feel would best meet your needs.

If you would like to try out online therapy, groups or workshops, please let us know when you refer yourself and we can book you straight onto these.

ANDYSMANCLUB started off as one group in the small, northern town of Halifax. That first night 9 men turned up and spoke. There was a magic in that room that everyone knew had to be shared.

We knew other guys across the country needed this same experience. We have worked tirelessly through Andys memory to
grow our clubs. We now have 28 groups, and still growing, across the UK.

We could tell you how amazing we believe it is to see guys still with us and improving their life. We think though, you will hear it best from the horse’s mouth…
