Anxious Minds is a North East based charity who offer early intervention mental health support for civilians, serving soldiers and veterans.
Whilst waiting lists for professional treatment through the NHS, Private Medical Care and other larger charities is stretched, Anxious Minds offer immediate, excellent support through; Peer Support, education, mindfulness, art, Ti Chi and many other supportive ways for "FREE".
I am currently using the help and support of Anxious Minds due to extremely challenging times. The support from the team and other mental health sufferers are supporting me recover back to normal health. I have been supported by the charity with the help of professional medical care for the past 6 months. Although the professional health care is excellent, for me it has not been enough. This led me to seek more support. I came accross Anxious Minds on Facebook through a friend and i knew it was the extra support i needed. I contacted them and i got a warm, immediate responce offering support.
The team (Eddie, Kath and Margaret) are whole heartedly amazing people whom together and as individuals provide excellent support in their free time.
The Ben Nevis Challenge will be aimed at supporting Veterans who are facing mental health problems.
The charity has also kindly offered to support larger charities such as Combat Stress and also provide support to NHS patients.
This for me can only be described as a miniscule offering of thanks for their support and a golden opoertunity to help others. So please donate to a charity that does realy make a difference.
