Our aims and how we are run |
 |
|
|
|
|||
|
|||
|
Lambeth Mind is an independent local charity working for the well-being of people experiencing any kind of mental distress by providing information, advice and support and through campaigning for better services. | |
|
||
|
The majority of us involved in running and staffing Lambeth Mind have experience of using or receiving mental health services of various kinds ourselves. | |
|
||
|
We manage our affairs independently through our Management Committee which is elected annually from our membership. We currently employ an Interim Manager, a Volunteer & Training Co-ordinator, an Information & Admin Officer and sessional workers. Otherwise Lambeth Mind depends on the support of its volunteer team. | |

Information Helpline | |
|
||
|
The helpline service is currently suspended due to a lack of funding. We aim to resume this service as soon as funding permits. For alternative sources of information, see our regularly updated online directory on this website, particularly the Helplines & Telephone Counselling category. | |
|

|
If you are in a crisis and need to talk to someone urgently, you can phone the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) for confidential emotional support. Alternatively call Saneline's helpline on 0845 767 8000 for emotional support and information such as details of local mental health services, mental illness, medication and side effects, psychological treatments and other therapies. | |
