Mind in Somerset Hearing Voices Groups

Our Hearing Voices groups provides a safe place for you to talk about your experiences, and the groups are fully facilitated by Mind in Somerset active listeners. You may feel that sometimes these experiences are very distressing and overwhelming, but sharing this can help. On the other hand, you may feel that your voices are positive and supportive but still need a outlet to share with other people.
Our philosophy is to never assume to know how voices and visions effect people individually. Just like we are all different physically, we are also different mentally and the effects and the way we cope are different also.

Thank you!

Congratulations to Renegades Carnival Club in Bridgwater for raising £3868.50 in this year’s virtual London Marathon !
Because this year’s Carnival plans were restricted due to Covid, the steely gang decided to walk a marathon instead, to raise funds for us. They still found time this week to perform in the wonderful Sedgemoor Masquerade Week variety shows with an amazing disco performance and will also feature in tomorrow’s walking parade in Bridgwater. Thank you Renegades !

Re balancing the Relationship

We’re delighted to announce that Open Mental Health has been featured in a new national report, #RebalancingTheRelationship, which focuses on #VCSE collaboration. Proud to have contributed and share what we have learned so far.

‘We came together to develop this work because we believe in it and the difference it can make for our beneficiaries…We all had to be okay with not always getting it right.’ – Rethink Mental Illness

‘All of this is about relationships. It’s not about size, it’s about commitment and culture within organisations. We kept coming back to why we were here, it’s not about any individual organisation.’ – Spark Somerset

‘In order for everyone to be equal some organisations need bigger steps to be at the same level as others.’ – SWEDA

The Somerset Mental Health Alliance was formed in 2019 as part of the new Community Mental Health Framework, which aims to address the long existing gaps in provision and challenges of mental health care and support in the community. Somerset is one of 12 Trailblazers, trialing a new approach to coproducing a local model, funded by the NHS Trust, the Clinical Commissioning Group, and the County Council.
