The staff and volunteers of Darlington Mind and Mind in Hambleton and Richmondshire would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024.

We are here to help

As the leading specialised Mental Health Charity in Darlington and surrounding area you can trust and rely on us to provide you with the quality care and support services that you deserve.

Established in 1979 - because it was recognised that there was a lack of social outlets and support for people with mental health problems - Darlington Mind has grown substantially over the last 40 years. We now cover Darlington, South Durham, Hambleton & Richmondshire, and offer a wide range of recovery support services to hundreds of people every year. We are here to help you when you need it.

"Darlington Mind did some bespoke training sessions for our business on Mental Health Awareness. Our staff members found it beneficial in helping especially managers spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill-health, and also what they can do to support staff who are enduring these issues. This has really made a positive difference to our company and its workforce – thank you again!"
