MindWell is the mental health website for people in Leeds. Funded by the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), it brings together information from the NHS, Leeds City Council and the third sector into one single ‘go to’ place.
MindWell was launched on 10 October 2016, World Mental Health Day, and is managed by a partnership of Volition and Thrive by Design.
MindWell provides quick and easy access to up-to-date information for all adults in Leeds, including GPs, employers and other professionals.
The project is developed through co-design with people who use services, carers and people working in mental health services, adult social care, the third sector, libraries and businesses.
