Removing the stigma of mental health one mask at a time
About the Organisation
With an estimated 1 in 4 people experiencing some form of mental illness, it’s probable that you, or one of your loved ones, could be living with a mental health issue in silence.
Here at Unmasked Mental Health, our goal is simple, through our services, we want to provide safe, stable environments where people can communicate with each other, get professional support and to educate employers and others on how to support people who may be struggling.
We are proud to partner with many other organisations within the communities we operate. Unmasked are a social prescriber service working in partnership with NHS England which means you can be referred to us for support directly from your GP.
As a Volunteer Facilitator for one of our Mental Health Drop-in Hubs, you will play a crucial role in leading and facilitating a support group for people seeking mental health support. You will create a safe and supportive environment where participants can share, learn, and connection with others. Through your facilitation and compassionate approach, you will promote mental well-being and build a sense of community within the group.
