Ulverston Mind Cookie Policy

Some of our services are scheduled on certain days and at certain times whilst others are available all the time. For services that require more privacy we hold sessions at our Ulverston Office, whilst the more social sessions are held at various locations in the community.

Our Drop-in groups provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people to access information, advice and support. Our volunteers support the work of our counsellors and support staff and are key to ensuring that people feel welcome and are given the opportunity to talk about their emotional state if they choose to. We may signpost a you to an outside agency or our counselling service if we feel that it is in your best interests.

• Counselling is available on a one to one basis at our Ulverston Office without the need for a GP referral. We have a team of professional counsellors and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who volunteer their time and expertise. There is a small fee for this service.
  
• Ex-forces personnel are always welcome to come in and seek advice or counselling. We do have plans to create a more specific service to cater for ex-services members of our community later in the year.
  
• Informal Advocacy offers support if you're struggling to make your voice heard or you find it hard to make people understand your point of view. We will help you stand up for your rights.
  
• Information Services is available at our Ulverston Office. We can supply you with mental health books and leaflets, guidance and support as well as a listening ear. We also take this information along to community locations such as the library, health clinics, work places or community events.
  
• Listening Ear is available for those who need someone to talk to but don’t necessarily have the need or maybe the time for scheduled counselling sessions. Listening Ear is available at our Ulverston Office.
  
• Skilled Trades People are needed to offer us their skills and expertise with a few odd jobs that we need doing in the office. We don't need major work doing, the work is mainly simple upgrades and running repairs.
  
• Allotment Drop-In is a Drop-In which allows people the opportunity to learn new skills, talk to understanding volunteers to discuss things which may be on their mind, or just to improve their wellbeing through excercise.
