Bradford District and Craven Mind are a local mental health charity that support people of all ages with their mental health and wellbeing. 

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated or low in mood we can support you when feelings become difficult. 

You’ll know many parts of life can weigh us down and cause us stress, but for men there is a pressure to keep going as if everything is okay. Things aren’t always what they seem but talking can be the first step towards feeling better.

Talk to us about what’s going on beneath the surface.

I’m in distress and need urgent support today

Safe Spaces provides urgent, same-day support if you are experiencing:

  • severe anxiety
  • panic attacks
  • suicidal thoughts
  • intense depression
  • feeling disconnected from reality (dissociation)

I have used Safe Spaces several times when I’ve had spells of extreme stress. It is a life saver, and such a comfort to know that someone can speak to you in person during periods of isolation.

Other ways we can support you

Book one-to-one support through your GP

Call your GP surgery and ask for a telephone appointment with Enhanced Access. Through this service we can give you three evening sessions with a Bradford District and Craven Mind practitioner.

If you want to meet like-minded people, join one of our wellbeing groups to connect with others who will understand how you’re feeling.

I cannot begin to tell you what a difference these three sessions have made, you knew exactly what to do for me.
