Mental health drop in services available

As of January 2020, we are able to offer support for anyone who feels like they are really struggling with their mental health. Instead of going to A&E, making an urgent doctor’s appointment or suffering in silence, you can visit one of our offices across Somerset in Bridgwater, Yeovil, Shepton Mallet or Taunton. There you will find a supportive member of staff who will be willing to listen and be able to help you with your problems, whatever they may be.

Here is our list of services and times:

Taunton: Monday – Friday: 9AM – 10:30PM, Saturday & Sunday: 8PM – 10:30PM.
Details: 01823 334906. Sussex Lodge, 44 Station Rd, Taunton Somerset TA1 1NS
Yeovil: Monday – Friday: 9AM – 4:30PM.
Details: 01935 474875. Yeovil Small Business Centre, Houndstone Business Park, Yeovil BA22 8WA
Bridgwater: Monday – Friday: 9AM – 4:30PM
Details: 01278 421190. Town Hall, High St, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA6 3AS
Shepton Mallet: Monday – Friday: 9AM – 4:30PM
Details: 07395 259304. Shepton Mallet, Somerset

Please phone before though so we know that you are coming, and note that we cannot take anyone under eighteen or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Due to health and safety procedures we cannot guarantee there is an accessible toilet facility on site.

Alternatively, if you do not feel comfortable visiting the office or struggle with transport getting there, you can use our Mindline telephone support service. You can reach us on 01823 276892. This service will be open every night of the week 8PM -11PM, while Mindline Trans+ will be open every Friday 8PM – midnight. Mindline Trans+ is a confidential emotional, mental health support helpline and signposting service for people who identify as Trans, A Gender, Gender Fluid, or Non-binary. You can reach that service on 0300 330 5468

From tomorrow we will adapt our support for people and organisations in Somerset to target those whose mental health will be affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Working with Public Health Somerset, and the NHS, we will extend our Mindline telephone support to open from 9am-11pm on weekdays and 8pm-11pm at the weekend. 01823 276892.

By offering a range of group and one-to-one support options online or by phone, the charity intends to continue supporting people with poor mental health whether they are struggling at work or isolated at home. In these unprecedented times, never has support for people’s mental health been so important. We are here.

Having consulted with our service users, we have reluctantly decided that our peer support and other mental wellbeing support groups will not run this week. However we will be offering all those who usually attend (and anyone else who would like one) a wellbeing check-up by phone. Our support workers will be in touch to set this up. If you have a 1-2-1 appointment booked for this week, please contact your support worker for an update. Please keep well and know that we are here for you, whatever you are going through. Give us a call on 01278 421190 during the day or Mindline on 01823 276892 between 8pm-11pm, 7 days a week. ... See MoreSee Less
