If it wasn't for this wonderful organisation, i would not be here now, words can not express how grateful i am, truly thank you so much.
Just completed 8 sessions of peer support. I feel that I've come a long way, achieved so much in a short space of time with a bright future, a plan going forward with support and resources should I require them. I cannot thank you enough, from my counsellor to the friendly reception team.
I had a very positive experience with the particular staff at mind when they visited the Thursday of their regular visits to where I was incarcerated against my will at Kingfisher Court----they was very taken with my most recent artwork which was produced because of extreme boredom by that Thursday visit. I did, I must have, stimulate the CEO at that time ( 2017 ) to organise an exhibition of my empirical disciplines: there was an opening to stage such an event: the opening reception coinciding with world mental health day. The tragedy lies with the fact that the event that galvanised the energy---the art----has been overlooked, and so this experience is bitter/sweet regardless of the fact that I have been inordinately successful in managing to have my works displayed within the "mental health sector" but most significantly NHS buildings, where the government issued robots breed its hideous ideologies, that lie as an ethical responsibility, to their masters such as the robots working for the Tavistock Institute For Human Affairs et al. My knowledge is the product of an inquiring mind---not the narrow confines of government backed mind---and therefore anathema to Tommy-Land. All being said, I am grateful to have my Mother's love on display for all to see----because it is Mer-G that is the backbone fir all I have accomplished. XXX
Unresolved Safeguarding issue. I volunteered as memory support. One of the members of staff was lacking in empathy. Accused me of talking over her....I should not display any form of humour.....I should not talk to the customers carers because they have their own meetings. She spent most of one session in the corner on her mobile phone. One Lady fell asleep and was pushed firmly on her arm. I told her this could be viewed as assault she retorted I know nothing about dementia......(my Aunty died of it !!!) The staff members conduct was flagged up 8 weeks ago. I still do not have an explanation or apology. I have been passed from one manager to another...most of whom have been on holiday. Avoid.
Hertfordshire mind has helped me with my mental health and supported me to get the help I needed, I enjoy going to the metting place every week so I can discuss anything I need to or just do my own thing as there is no pressure to participate, I have met some amazing people who are now great friends and I wouldn't. Be without them now as its always good to talk to someone else who has walked In my shoes so to speak.
Not a good service. Left me without support when I was still in mental distress and didn't give me anywhere else to get support realistically
Breached GDPR and confidentiality. Reported to ICO. Alessia Newman originally apologised and said she wanted to rectify it then refused to engage with me. So I hope that the ico investigates and fines appropriately. Not trustworthy so be mindful of that if engaging with them. Thus review is of the Watford team. Don't know if the other teams are better... but I wouldnt be too hopeful. Be very careful with these slippery snakes.
Due to the Govt doing NOTHING to help with Mentall Illness and the care that is desperately needed I was shoved from piller to post. MIND are a marvellous charity and I cant thank them enough for their warmth and guidance. The Adult Services at THE HUB run by the Govt Do absolutely nothing to help me with bereavment counselling and counselling for clinical depression and manic depression. This is disgraceful. MIND Do CARE and are more than aware of how badly run Govt funded places like the Welk l Being centre are as well as the UK as a whole. If you are disturbed finding life very difficult and need help please call MIND. They will supply a list and information on help lines to call night and day also. They offer courses in anxiety etc and a drop in twice a week. Wonderful people I cant praise them enough.
MIND has helped me immensely with my mental health. There are a wide range of courses that have improved my wellbeing. I am part of a project called Building Better Opportunities and that has allowed me to find and work on my confidence, helping me to deal with personal problems I would have struggled to cope with alone. This has been invaluable. Furthermore, there are groups helping individuals getting back into volunteering/work. There is a social group that follows afterwards which centres on certain activities although you can choose to do other things like play games instead. There is much more on offer than what I have outlined. It is a place I would recommend to someone who wishes to improve their mental health.
