Advice and Information
Advice & Information
Mind National have produced a large library of booklets and information sheets on many aspects of mental health and wellbeing. They are available in our offices or you can access them from the Mind National website.
Both East Suffolk Mind and West Suffolk Mind offer consultation sessions with experienced staff. They are slightly different depending on which of us you approach.
West Suffolk Mind's Consultations
In West Suffolk Mind, when people first make contact, we have what we call a 'consultation'. This is a short, very informal meeting, usually around 20 minutes; between you and one of our workers where we can talk about what difficulties you are having and what we may be able to offer you. We always try our best to help you. If we can't offer you one of our services we will always try to suggest who may be able to help you.
