Who are we?
Healthy Minds Lincolnshire provide emotional wellbeing support for children and young people up to 19 years old. If you have a special educational need or disability or are a care leaver we can see you up to the age of 25.
Everyone at some point might find it hard to cope with how they are feeling or what is happening in their life. Healthy Minds Lincolnshire provides early support when you start to feel that life is getting out of control and you need some help to cope.
Our teams are made up of a variety of professionals. All staff are referred to as HML Practitioners and have a nursing, social work, counsellor, teaching, or mental health background.

What is emotional wellbeing?
Emotional wellbeing is about being happy, confident, having good relationships and being able to cope with everyday events.
We can help you with:
- Exam stress
- Worries
- Interpersonal Skills
- Low mood
- Low self-esteem
- Low body confidence
- Coping with change
- Self-harm
If you would like support please speak to your teachers or alternatively call the Lincolnshire Here4You advice line. If you are under 16 we will usually need to speak to your parents.
What we offer
The support we offer is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, which are designed to help you think about things differently and learn to cope in a more positive way.
We can support you by:
- Directing you to use self-help
- Workshops delivered online or at school to small groups of children or young people as a one off session
- Virtual groups delivered to a small number of young people.
- One to one sessions with a Practitioner. These are typically delivered virtually within a school or community setting.
