Mindfull is a service for young people aged 11-18 soon to be 11-25. Min It provides support, information and advice about mental health and our emotional wellbeing. This is done through 3 main ways,
1. Self-help they is different information and resources to help people to learn out their mental health. They is so much their including advice on talking about mental health.
2. Mentors (Thats where i come in) They are 3 different types of mentors.
we have the Mindfull mentors, their ages 11-18 so the same age as users. They are their to listen and give advice where they can and be nonjudgmental.
Then we have the Mindfull Life Mentors (Thats me) we are aged 18+ and are also there to listen and give advice, i love my role and find it really rewarding and its really nice when someone lets you know you have helped them.

We then also have our Specialist mentors they are trained in LGBTQ+ issues and are aged 18-25. Mindfull also did a interview with a specialist mentor See that here.
3. Counsellors, The counsellors are able to give 1:1 support and also group support. They are trained and are able to help support the users who need extra support. They are also there to support the mentors when we need support.
