Mental Health Recovery Pathway
Providing online remote support services for Islington residents who experience mental distress
Islington Mind is now offering, and growing, our virtual support services in response to COVID-19. We are here to support you remotely, so if you are having any technical or financial challenges in gaining access to our online services, please contact us for assistance. We want to help everyone to get connected.
During this challenging time when we cannot meet in person, Islington Mind will provide a variety of virtual spaces for people to get together again. In addition to our daily drop-ins, we are hosting a variety of activity groups (such as reading, art, music appreciation, creative writing, and much more) as well as small support groups that will offer a safe space to discuss difficult topics, such as grief, anxiety, and isolation as a result of COVID-19.
Telephone 020 3301 9850 or email admin@islingtonmind.org.uk for an invitation to these activities.

We had an amazing day at Outcome’s Islington Mind LGBTQ service on October 31st 2018. The day attracted over 100 guests and included tasters of Outcome’s therapeutic activities such as creative writing and Indian head massage. CLASH (Central London Action on Sexual Health) came to promote their service and the launch of a sexual health clinic at Outcome. Islington’s Pride also promoted their new project which will be starting at Outcome, working with our service users to collect and celebrate Islington’s LGBTQ heritage. Guests came from many organisations, including Survivors UK, Galop, Camden Mind, National Mind, Wandsworth LGBTQ Forum, Hackney and City Mind, and Camden LGBTQ forum. Following an amazing home-cooked lunch, a drama performance took place in the afternoon, as well as an open-mic session - both of which provoked laughter as well as tears. Feedback from service users and guests was very positive, with many organisations suggesting closer work with Outcome in order to further benefit service users. The day was hugely significant in its celebration of the strength and creativity of service users and in promoting Outcome to other organisations and potential service users
