Our Services
Derbyshire Mind provide a range of community mental wellbeing services designed to support people with mental health problems as well as the wider population.
Mental Health Crisis Support Drop-In Services:
Friendly and supportive non-clinical drop-in services for adults experiencing mental health crisis or emotional distress in Buxton, Swadlincote and Ripley.
Community Mental Wellbeing Services:
Derbyshire Mind’s Mental Wellbeing services, at their heart, are fun and enjoyable groups that enable you to connect with your local community.
- MindSpace: Struggling with how you’re feeling? Need someone to just listen and not try to ‘fix’? MindSpace is here to listen to you – come and walk with us.
- Movement and Mindfulness: a fortnightly class which consists of yoga, mindfulness and Sound Baths. Enjoy a sense of calm and grounding which will help to alleviate stress and anxiety.
- Rookie Runners: a 12 week programme, for anyone looking to start their running journey whilst looking after their wellbeing along the way.
Where We Work
We work in the county of Derbyshire, covering nine districts including the city of Derby. This includes the areas covered by Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council and serves a population of around 1,060,000 people.
How We're Funded
Some of our services are funded by Derbyshire County Council and Derby and Derbyshire ICB. We are very grateful to all those individuals and organisations who have donated to us or organised fundraising activities to support our work.
     
Our fundraised income is used to deliver our community mental wellbeing programmes, including Enjoying Derbyshire, MindSpace, Active Monitoring, and much more.
