What is Mental Mate?
The answer in short is, LIFE !!!! Life is mental!
These days, mental health is deservedly getting the recognition it deserves as being an undeniable cause of poor living conditions. These things can include but are not limited to addiction, education, employment, finances, housing, disability, sexuality, racism, menopause and domestic violence.
These are just some of the well-known reasons that our mental health is in such poor state. Therefore we have made it our mission to make getting access to services that can help with these issues much easier.
You can use our 'Get General help for...' menu to access national charities that can provide you with support or look at our more local menus to see what's on your doorstep.
This site will cover every local district in the England & Wales eventually but is currently being built singlehandedly, so it will be a gradual process. If you are in need of help ASAP, feel free to get in touch and we will get straight to the info that you need. You don't have to wait until you see it listed.
We want to promote those charities that end up having to close because people are unaware of their existence. Therefore, if you know of any charities that may not be as well advertised as they could be, let us know and we'll fit them into our site.
Our mission is to be able to help by:
- Advocating for people who are struggling to find the right help.
- Working with other charities and organisations to promote support and wellbeing.
- Providing information via our website.
- Providing bespoke training packages for both the public and private sectors.
- Fighting to change policy and procedure.
Until these changes are made and help is made available where it is needed, nothing will change and
if nothing changes, nothing changes.
About us
At TMM, we understand that mental health issues can affect anyone, in various forms and degrees. From addiction to Tourette's, ADHD to OCD, and everything in between, we know that everyone's struggles are unique. That's why we're here to offer a helping hand, connecting you with the local resources and support you need to navigate through these challenges.
Our goal is to be your one-stop shop for all things related to mental health support in Calderdale, providing a safe space for you to seek guidance, information, and assistance, whilst keeping the language simple. You shouldn't need a degree to work out what's happening in your own head.
Let's tackle these issues together and support each other along the way.
Not only is it our mission to help provide resources and support to those that are struggling but we also want to make it easier for charities and organisations that are already out there, to be found by potential clients.
So many of these fantastic places end up being closed due to lack of awareness and underuse. Not on our watch!
If you are one of those places and would like to have your service advertised on this site, please get in touch by clicking the button below.
That's Mental Mate!
