About

free support and listening service

We are a group of qualified volunteers offering a listening and support service in the community. A place where you can check in, be seen and heard. 

We work one to one on an appointment basis, which lasts around half an hour but you can book in weekly for a while if needed. 

We are presently using an informal setting using cafe venues in Paignton and Brixham - as we evolve further we are expecting to use a more formal base in each location.

In addition we now have our Renters Support Service, we ask you to email for advice by contacting [email protected] 

sometimes it may be necesssary to meet in person to assist you further. We deal with things like understanding your rights as a renter, how to format letters to your landlord or letting agent, what to do if repairs aren't carried out. We don't offer a home finding service, but sometimes will advertise for you via our social media.

 

We have a monthly gamers social for those over 18 - A place where you can connect safely with like minded people, play games, talk about gaming books films and so on. Details and dates available by e-mailing us.

This is held in a quiet secure location, with lift access so if you have challenges to your mobility, or easily overwhelmed by noise or large groups this is the place for you. Carers or supporters are made welcome to the sessions too.

Our mindfulness groups run each Monday and you do need to book your first session. Numbers are kept small so that its not too overwhelming. Mindfulness helps with anxiety and stress. 

Healthy Minds aims to provide support when life might seem a bit challenging or you feel alone or isolated. We work with over 18'only and each team member is trained in active listenining as well as holding additional qualifications and receive regular on going training.
