Hear from our community members, volunteers, and service users about how Awakening Minds has made a difference in their lives and the lives of others in Rochdale.
Awakening Minds helped me when I was at my lowest point. The support I received in Punjabi made all the difference - I finally felt understood. They didn't just help me, they helped my whole family understand mental health better.
As a volunteer, I've seen firsthand how this organization transforms lives. The weekly soup kitchen isn't just about food - it's about creating a safe space where people can talk openly about their struggles without fear of judgment.
The Mental Health First Aid training I received through Awakening Minds gave me the confidence to support my colleagues at work. Now I can recognize when someone is struggling and know how to help them get the support they need.
