Mind Cwm Taf Morgannwg is able to provide a drop-in mental health and emotional wellbeing service for people aged over 11 who live in the counties of Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil or Rhondda Cynon Taf.
We can provide up to 3 solution-focussed conversations, self-help resources and advice on services that can support with issues affecting your emotional wellbeing.
A calendar of where we are is below but you can also contact us to pre-book a session, which can be in person or via telephone / Microsoft Teams call. If emailing to pre-book, please say which area you live in, how you would like to do the session (in person, telephone, video call) and a brief outline of what you’d like to talk about.
