"I woke up one day and shiver-my-needles I was a Christmas Tree! I'm figuring out my purpose in life, but it's lonely out here and the other trees are shunning me now for being *different*. I need some friends! Come and find me. There are clues on my page......"

I want to help people who also feel different or isolated, if you like visiting me or my Facebook page, please donate!

York Mind exists in order to promote recovery from mental ill-health, emotional well-being and independent living.

Your donation will go toward these specialist projects-

• Befriending
• “Self-help” groups: led by volunteers and beneficiaries, aimed at giving people the opportunity to share experiences and offer coping strategies.
• Information Service: a first port of call for anyone affected by mental ill-health or emotional distress needing guidance, signposting and advice.
• Advocacy: giving vulnerable people the support they need to make and act upon informed choices and decisions about aspects of their lives they wish to change.
• Counselling: supporting people through a period of crisis or distress. As well as those diagnosed with a mental-health condition, we also work with people emotionally affected by situations such as redundancy, bereavement, bullying at work and general anxiety.
