You in Mind

You In Mind is a new service that gives you the opportunity to talk openly about the issues that are affecting you.
We are a free and confidential service to anyone in Carlisle and Eden.

We are committed to raising awareness of alternatives to crisis and working together with our clients to make positive changes and ensure healthy outcomes.

We help to provide a holistic service to people in order that they get their needs met and find strategies to better manage their mental health.

You in Mind is a service for anyone who is concerned about their mental health and finds themselves in crisis.
We believe that anyone in crisis deserves to be treated fairly and with respect.
Every referred person will have a safe, calm environment to meet with a You in Mind support worker in one to one session/s.

You Are Not Alone

During Sessions

You will have the opportunity to talk openly about the issues that are affecting you.

We are here to listen and support you. We will not tell you what to do but we can offer options and a range of other support. We can also help you to keep yourself safe.

This might include:

Possible referral to our You in Mind Coach who will assist to break patterns of behaviour and help to reach goals.
Allocation of a Peer Support Worker who will help with the journey to recovery.
Signposting to other relevant agencies for additional support.

What if it's an emergency?

There may be times when your friend or a family member needs to seek help more urgently, such as if they:

have harmed themselves and need medical attention
are having suicidal feelings, and feel they may act on them
are putting themselves or someone else at immediate, serious risk of harm.

In this case:

If they are not safe by themselves right now – as long as you feel able to do so, you should stay with them and help them call 999 for an ambulance, or help them get to A&E. They may appreciate it if you can wait with them until they can see a doctor.

If they can keep themselves safe for a little while – you can get quick medical advice by calling NHS Direct on 111 (England) or 0845 46 47 (Wales), or you could help them make an emergency GP appointment to see a doctor soon. You can encourage them to call the Samaritans on 116 123 at any time of night or day to talk to someone. It may also be helpful to remove things that they could use to harm themselves, particularly if they have mentioned specific things they might use.

If you feel personally in danger right now, or that others are in immediate danger – you can dial 999 and ask for the police to help. You might feel worried about getting someone in trouble, but it’s important to put your own safety first.
