Walking out of Darkness - Dudley Mind

A project by Dudley Mind

Walking out of Darkness - Dudley Mind

Our project helps local residents to set up and maintain their own peer support groups,.which are run by the members for the members.These groups meet regularly so that participants can offer support to each other in a non judgmental way and make suggestions about new or different coping strategies. Most people find it essential to their wellbeing, to speak to others who have been through similar experiences. We also run courses that teach people how to manage anger, anxiety, depression etc

Why they need our service

Dudley Mind has two main aims: 1. To support people with mental health distress 2. To promote good mental wellbeing for all Dudley Mind supports the mental health needs of local residents who use our activities to recover. The money raised by people who do the Walk Out of Darkness will support the running of our weekly courses and activities that help people to improve their emotional wellbeing. Help us to increase awareness of mental health, end the stigma and help save lives.

Plan and expected results

The funding raised could help peer support groups with things like: paying for a venue to meet, information resources or equipment, marketing for the group and refreshments. The funding could also help further develop our courses and services so that we can reach out to the wider community within the Dudley borough.
