Mind BLMK
We work across communities in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes to support positive mental health and wellbeing. Working closely with a range of partners, we offer a number of activities from our wellbeing centres and local venues to make a difference to the mental health and wellbeing of people in our communities. Our aim is to make sure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

Our vision and values are at the heart of all we do – Mind BLMK is part of the communities in which we work and it is important to us that we take this responsibility on board. Mental health is something we all have and Mind BLMK aim to ensure that everyone can get support when they need it.
We deliver a number of services that aim to prevent suicides and play an active part in a number of local boards and groups to influence and feedback into the local suicide prevention work with public health and ICB colleagues.

Future-proofing funding for suicide prevention and postvention services. Reaching as many people as possible. Contributing to the local 10 year suicide prevention plan, including involvement of people with lived experience. Working with partners in the system to ensure a crisis pathway where no one falls through gaps.

Securing longevity of funding in order to offer appropriate suicide prevention and crisis provision and respond to growing demand.
Adapting service processes and protocols in response to the Police ‘Right Care Right Person’ approach which aims to ensure individuals in mental health crisis are seen by the right professional. This has included closer working with local crisis and community mental health teams alongside Police colleagues to ensure local people in crisis have the right support when they need it.
