Improving Mental Health in the Local Community

Introduction

Welcome to our new website.

We will be adding many new features and resources over the next few months to the Mind in Tower Hamlets website. For further updates and developments, please continue to visit our site. In the meantime we hope that you will find the information on our current webpage of value to you.

About Us Back to top of page

The overall aim of Mind in Tower Hamlets is to improve the mental health needs of the local community through provision of services, raising awareness, campaigns and promotion of a range of services through creative partnerships.

Our major concern is the high level of mental illness among Tower Hamlets multi racial communities which face high levels of unemployment, poor and overcrowded housing and low incomes.

Please contact us for more information.
