Coventry and Warwickshire Mind
Coventry and Warwickshire Mind is the leading provider of third sector mental health services across Coventry & Warwickshire. In 2016, we celebrated our 50th anniversary and ever since we founded, we have worked tirelessly to develop a broad range of services for people who experience mental health problems. We have played a crucial part in many significant changes, to mental health services in the city and over the years have supported tens of thousands of people through our services. The core of our approach is to bring mental health out in the open - to work in partnership with people who have experience of mental health problems to provide a wide range of quality services, reduce stigma and promote positive mental health and wellbeing. We want mental health problems to be treated in the same way as physical health - as something that can, with the right care and support, recover from or manage.
