“Have you ever felt stressed or depressed? Work or home life making you feel down.  You’re not alone.  Mental health problems are very common, with 1 in 4 adults being affected in the UK, so either directly or indirectly they touch the lives of everyone in Middlesbrough.  In spite of this there is still a stigma attached to experiencing a mental health problem.”

Marian Ramsey, Trustee

We are here to let people know that depression is not something to be ashamed of.  We have a great reputation for supporting people through some of the most difficult and stressful times of their lives.  Now you can support us and have fun while you do it.

 Open Mind Centre

Open 6 days of the week the centre provides a much needed chance for people to socialise in an environment where they won’t be judged or questioned. 

Our staff are fantastic and so are the people who use our centre.  By allowing people to be themselves, without the worry of the stigma that comes from mental health difficulties, we provide a relaxed space that people can use just to chat, to get creative through involvement in one of our many arts projects, or somewhere to get desperately needed support from people who care.

Listening Support      

It’s not always easy to talk to family and friends about how you’re feeling.  Our listening support service can be a life line if you are feeling upset or confused and feel that you have no one to talk to.
