We are a user led and user run organisation who have been providing services in Solihull Borough since 1984, expanding from a single drop-in support service to providing a wide range of practical and therapeutic support services available from our building in Faulkner Road and our horticuture/conservation project in Knowle. Solihull Mind believes that people who have mental health problems have the same rights as any other person; that they should not be disadvantaged or subject to prejudice and should have the right to live an ordinary life in the community with the necessary support to ensure fulfilment and independence. As a local, user led, organisation Solihull Mind seeks to improve the quality, quantity, and accessibility of services for people with emotional distress. Our services support these beliefs, enabling people to move towards the lives they want using whichever of our services they need when they need them; whether for a one-off situation needing help or guidance; for longer term support, perhaps using more than one service; or returning to a service when needed at a particular time. We also provide support to access other services. Solihull Mind aims to continually improve services and uses the National Mind Quality Management in Mind standards to help achieve this.
