Welcome

to the Ynys Môn & Gwynedd Mind website

We're Mind, the mental health charity. We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We're here for you. Today. Now. We're on your doorstep, on the end of a phone or online. Whether you're stressed, depressed or in crisis. We'll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner. And we'll push for a better deal and respect for everyone experiencing a mental health problem.

We provide information and services concerning mental health and wellbeing to the people of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) and Gwynedd in North Wales. We are based in Caernarfon but also have a Rural Outreach service serving the wider community.

Leading the way in Anti-Stigma Work

Ynys Môn & Gwynedd Mind's main focus of service delivery is anti-stigma work. We aim to tackle the stigma and discrimination in the wider community through our projects, training and campaign work.  Our main aim is to create a community where people feel they can talk openly about their mental health problem without a fear of rejection or discrimination. We also aim to promote good mental health and wellbeing, which is important to us all. We run all our projects out in the community and believe recovery is possible for everyone. We focus on ability and not disability and our projects are open to the wider public.

Ynys Môn & Gwynedd Mind is committed to the concept of wellbeing for the whole person. We have a particular interest in the role of the arts in mental health and wellbeing.

We use the arts as a form of service delivery and as a vehicle for tackling stigma. We offer a whole range of high end projects such as film making and creative writing. We show case talent and ability, give participants a voice and create realistic narratives around mental health.
