Mental Health

1 in 4 people will experience mental health problems In their lifetime. It does not discriminate and affects people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and walks of life. 

What We do

We offer ongoing peer support groups, activities, events, complementary therapies, resources, talking therapies and the latest interventions / recommendations as they arise.  The aim of the group is to help prevent an individual from reaching crisis by allowing them to access all of the above as opposed to being isolated and alone.

Our Vision

Our long term aim is to see Mental Health Friends groups start everywhere, to create a national community of people who come together and support each other with their mental health.

Claire Readman

FOUNDER

I founded Mental Health Friends Brackley Group on the 22nd February 2019, after a long battle with Depression and Social Anxiety and realising how talking about my struggles with fellow sufferers helped me. My friend Emma has since joined me to help with our local Peer Support Group and Facebook page.

In August, I registered with “Rethink Mental Illness” to offer peer support groups, however, Mental Health Friends will remain totally independent. I am available to answer your questions or provide any assistance you may need.

What We do

We offer ongoing peer support groups, activities, group allotment, men's group, events, resources and the latest interventions / recommendations as they arise.  The aim of the group is to help prevent an individual from reaching crisis by allowing them to access all of the above as opposed to being isolated and alone. We aim to provide awareness to the community, along with awareness of the local mental health services that might be near you. We also provide mental health resources and training.

A Supportive Network

We have a growing number of members, our community group forms a strong and reliable network. This allows us to advocate in the local community and work directly with the people we support.

We pursue close relationships with other charities and services to reach out as early as possible to offer assistance.

From the perspective of over someones shoulder. There is the back of a ladies head looking at Claire Readman, a white blonde lady wearing a Mental Health Friend's sweatshirt.

Early Intervention

Early intervention is key. Unfortunately mental health is still a taboo topic in our society. Our groups aim is to raise mental health awareness and acceptance surrounding this topic.
