Mind Matters groups

Mind BLMK’s Mind Matters groups offer the opportunity to discuss and explore issues around wellbeing and mental health in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place. With weekly sessions running across Central Bedfordshire, in Ampthill, Dunstable, Biggleswade and Leighton Buzzard, we explore a range of different subjects including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, goal setting and more.

Alongside workshops, we also provide a selection of activities, such as walking groups, self-led art activities, and a drop in service. As sessions do change from time to time, please contact us before your first visit. Whilst structured, we aim to make the sessions relaxed but informative. Tea and coffee is available, and occasionally cake!

How to access our support

Before you can access any of services you will need to complete a referral form and have a chat with one of our recovery workers. This is so we can find out a little bit more about your needs and to make sure our services offer you the right kind of support.  You can do this by clicking on the ‘Access Support’ button at the top right of this page.
