Welcome to YouinMind.org Blog

Statistics show that 1 in 6* young people have a diagnosed mental health condition and so we wanted to share with you a few ideas on how you can help young minds to stay healthy. 

When I used to think about being creative my mind would instantly jump back to those art lessons at school. The ones where I felt like I was completely out of my comfort zone. The ones where other kids would laugh because my picture looked funny. The ones where I felt embarrassed, fearful and silly. I even struggled when it came to handwriting practice, I could never seem to find the flow. 

Since launching YouinMind.org in April 2017, and together with your help, we have built up an impressive online directory for local mental health services in Cheshire.

It’s important that when we think of mental health, we don’t just think about how it affects us as adults. Children and young people are just as susceptible to mental ill-health and as a society we have a responsibility to ensure their wellbeing.

It’s time once again to look at another one of the fantastic providers we work with. This month’s provider is Active Cheshire, a multi-award winning charity that promotes positive wellbeing across the region through physical exercise and sport.

These are the latest services that we have added onto the YouinMind.org online mental health directory in September.

Anyone who follows the news will know that mental health services for young people can’t keep up with the increasing level of need. Only the most severely unwell are likely to be referred for treatment, and many have to wait for weeks to receive it.

It’s that time of the month again where we look at the brilliant work done by our providers. This month we’re looking at Cheshire Autism Practical Support!

It’s always important to find enjoyment when the weather has been as good as it has been this month. Luckily for you, there are plenty of wellness activities in Cheshire that will get you out in the sun.

Finding autism support in Cheshire doesn’t need to be a struggle. At YouinMind.org, we dedicate our time to finding a wide range of local autism services that will help make life more comfortable for you or your loved ones.

Hello everyone! Summer appears to be finally here and with such soaring temperatures, we know that a lot of you will be out and about this week.

If a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, it is important to celebrate the time that you still have. You need to make things as comforting and active for them as possible.
