The Healthy Minds Forum is a collective voice for positive change to Calderdale's mental health.

The Forum is a friendly and inclusive space for people to come together to explore issues, feedback experiences and take action for positive mental health in Calderdale.

Anyone with an interest in working collectively to explore and tackle issues in mental health is welcome to join us. This includes people with lived experience of mental health struggles, health and social care workers and people from voluntary and community organisations.

The Forum group generally meets once a month, every last Wednesday in Halifax.
