Established in 1995, Self Help Services is a user-led mental health charity housed within the Big Life Group. We have a diverse and experienced staff and volunteer team of over 70 individuals. In addition to having personal experience of a mental health problem, many of our staff and volunteers have either been employed or are currently in employment within the statutory sector, holding positions such as counsellor, psychologist and mental health practitioner.
At Self Help Services, we value the experiences of those who have had a mental health difficulty at some point in their life. We believe in empowering individuals to put their experiences to good use by providing accessible self help initiatives in the community to help others similarly affected. We passionately believe that it is possible to be an effective service provider/mental health professional whilst also continuing to manage personal on-going mental health difficulties.
The majority of our services are delivered in the North West with services in operation in Manchester, Stockport, Oldham, Trafford, Salford, Widnes, Runcorn and St Helens.
