Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan is a charity that works with and for people with mental health problems. We believe that mental health problems are very common and can affect any person at any stage of his/her life. We also believe that many of the ideas that people have about mental illness are based on fear and prejudice and are committed to challenging these misunderstandings.
Services We Deliver Include:
Mental Health Resource Centres
Wherever someone may live in the Vale of Glamorgan, there will be one of our Mental Health Resource Centres which provide:
Social activities shaped by the people who use the service.
Information on a wide range of issues and resources.
Assistance in helping people get the help and support they need from other organisations.
Support for people in developing the skills, experience, confidence they need to find fulfilling occupations.
Travellers in Mind is a supported work experience project based in Barry Railway Station Café. It aims to help people who have had mental health problems readjust to a working environment, gain confidence and self esteem, and utilise their existing skills as well as developing new ones. As well as delivering a service to commuters, the cafe is also the base for Catering in Mind which delivers buffets across the Cardiff and Vale area.
The café also houses the Travellers Gallery creating arts opportunities for people recovering from mental health problems.
You can also access Vocational support through our Mental Health Resource Centres (see above)
This innovative Big Lottery funded project aims to transform the way we work to support people’s recovery from mental health problems using new approaches to information, assessment and training across agencies.
