Healthy Minds - Calderdale

We are Calderdale's local mental health charity, led by people who have personal experience of emotional distress.

We believe that mental health is one aspect of a person’s life, not what defines them.

With kindness and respect, together we create and provide opportunities for people to understand and build on their strengths to better achieve what they want from their lives.
