Poor mental health can also lead to loneliness as people tend to withdraw from existing social connections and support services, therefore further confounding their perceived loneliness or lack of support.

Derbyshire Mind works to directly address poor mental health within the population of Derbyshire by delivering a range of community mental health and wellbeing services, designed to support and improve the health, wellbeing and lives of people experiencing mental health problems, their families and the wider community to live their best life.
