Are You Struggling With Your Mental Health?
You In Mind is a free and confidential support service for anyone living in Carlisle and Eden Valley.
Anyone who needs our support will be offered a safe, calm environment to meet with a You in Mind support worker in a one-to-one session/s. People visiting us will have time to talk through what is going on for them in one of our comfortable, confidential safe spaces.
Living in Eden? No Problem!
If you live in Eden, we can still help! We can arrange a comfy, quiet place for you to chat with us, or you can visit us at our building in Carlisle if this is possible.

Need Extra Support?
Sometimes, we might suggest other services that could support you further. We also offer a coaching program called “Coaching in Mind.” This program helps you work towards goals and learn new ways to manage things.
Coaching In Mind supports people who want to work towards a goal or an outcome. Sometimes we may feel stuck with a pattern of behaviours. One of our coaches will help you to look at things from a different perspective. They’ll support you to learn new ways of doing things and develop strategies to assist you cope. Coaching is not a doing for process but a doing with, your coach will guide and support you in the process.
People working with a coach will be offered a set amount of weekly sessions so that we can really focus on outcomes and goals. Coaching In Mind is accessed via referral from one of our other services when they feel this may be of benefit to you.
What is breathing space? This is a FREE group that has you in mind, an informal gathering of people who come from all walks of life. Some people may be struggling with anxiety, loneliness, isolation or any number of things that life can throw at us, which often affect how we feel. Sometimes things can just seem overwhelming and its important to remember you’re not alone, many people feel the same way. Breathing space is a great place to connect with others in your community
Breathing Space groups also give you the opportunity to get to know our You In Mind Team they’ll be on hand to support you every step of the way – If you don’t feel sure about coming along or need help making those first steps get in touch. We can work together to find something that works for you – even if that means meeting you outside and helping you take that first step through the door we are here for you. Our You In Mind team can also help you make one to one appointments so you can get the support you deserve.
The groups runs every Friday in Carlisle for people accessing our You In Mind Service. Groups run regularly in Penrith and Appleby which are a drop in sessions
