Our Story

Torfaen & Blaenau Gwent Mind has successfully supported people with mental health problems since 1986, through a range of services and we work holistically to support people to successfully manage their mental health and wellbeing and to live as independently as possible. 

For over 30 years we have provided an extended service ‘reach’ from different locations across the county boroughs of Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent, working with people in the heart of the communities in which they live.

We are an independent charity and are affiliated to the national charity Mind. We are keen collaborators in working to address the mental health challenges many people face and we work with the other local Minds in Gwent; meeting regularly to share best practice, jointly feed into local and national consultations and work on joint projects. 

We can also offer the provision of additional services, including training and advocacy services through our trading subsidiary Mental Health First Aid Wales.
