Services

Brent Mind works to support recovery from Mental Health distress in a way that builds resilience and independence. We provide services through outreach work in the community as well as by providing a service base for our users:

  • IAPT - Psychological Therapies - Brent Mind, in partnership with Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, has developed an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Service.  It is available to people in Brent experiencing common mental health difficulties.

  • Brokerage Service - Funded by the Big Lottery Fund, Brent Mind's Brokerage Service is here to help people put together Support Plans to get the best out of life.  Brokerage Workers work with people according to the personalisation (Self Directed Support) agenda.

  • Befriending - a scheme for adults who are experiencing mental health problems and who are lonely and socially isolated.

  • Community Housing - offers high quality supported housing for people who experience or have experienced mental distress.

  • Growing in Mind - aims to support people who have experience of mental health to revitalise an allotment and enhance wellbeing in the local community.

  • Horizon Drop In - a regular group session for adults over 18 with mental health needs, who can socialise and get involved in a variety of activities.

  • Healthy Minds - After a brilliant three years, the Healthy Minds project has drawn to a close. It was set up to offer a wide variety of community based physical activities to improve mental and physical wellbeing to anyone in Brent who has experienced mental distress. The good news is that most of the activities are continuing and some new sessions are beginning!

  • Mind Map - a young people's project that raises awareness and promotes positive attitudes towards mental health.

  • Mutual Support Group - a friendly group where you can gain support while supporting others and developing your confidence and skills.

Many of our services are provided on contract to NHS Brent and Brent Council. In addition, we receive charitable funding from The Big Lottery for some of our services and smaller donations from a range of businesses, charitable trusts and supporters.
