Mind and Body supports children and young adults who are self-harming, at risk of self-harming or struggling with their mental wellbeing.
We help people find positive ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, working with small groups in secondary schools and in the community.
We provide support, without judgement and work with you, side by side. At Mind and Body you can connect with others and get friendly, expert help.
The Mind and Body programme is delivered to small groups in secondary schools, other education settings, in the community and virtually.
We also provide parents, carers, supportive others and professionals with information and guidance to help you be the best support you can be.
This is a safe space for young people to share their worries, and explore new coping strategies.
We’ll never judge and we are here to listen. You don’t have to pay for this service.

WithYou helped me to learn how to cope with daily life and helped me to see myself in a better light. Today, I am happy and confident in my own skin.
The programme was really good. I was given great tools, some of which I can really use to help me with my struggles. The workbook is also a lovely addition, I really like how you can make it personal, as I love colouring.
Small groups offer the potential to learn from the experience of others. Often, the groups develop strong bonds and friendships which last beyond programme delivery.
Some people can initially be daunted by the idea of working in a small group. But delivering the sessions in this way can help you to see that you're not alone in your thinking.
Here at WithYou, we want you to feel safe and comfortable when seeking support, and your privacy is really important to us.
Everything you tell us, whether in person or online, is confidential. The only time this might change is if we have serious concerns about your own or someone else’s safety.
