Who We Are.

Shropshire MHS was established in 1974 and provides a wide range of quality services across the county for the one in four people and their families, who are affected by mental and emotional distress. We help to bridge the gap between being unwell and full independence for the people who use our service. Some people need support in many areas of their lives, whilst others in just a few. Some people need support for long periods of time and others for only a short while.

What We Do.

Shropshire MHS’s main objective is to empower anyone experiencing a mental health challenge. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental ill-health in Shropshire, making sure that the people in need of support are heard.

Our Vision.

At Shropshire Mental Health Support, we're committed to empowering individuals facing mental health challenges to actively engage in their communities and personal recovery journey. Through collaborative partnerships, we prioritise your right to make choices while working to alleviate the impact of isolation, stigma, and other barriers, particularly for those in rural areas. Our services include a 24-hour support helpline and a variety of group sessions at our Shrewsbury centre, such as Women’s Group, Men’s Group, Crafty Afty, and walking Groups. Additionally, our Calmer Café provides a safe space for open dialogue and support by appointment every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We're here to support you every step of the way.
