Men in Mind provides support services for black & minority ethnic men who are experiencing feelings of stress or isolation or any other issue that may affect their mental health and wellbeing.
Working across Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian, we are community led and committed to raising awareness of mental health issues.
A full range of services can be found in our service leaflet and include one to one and group support, educational and skills training and social activities.

Seen and Heard
Seen and Heard is a project that was funded by NHS Health Scotland, and produced by men involved with Men in Mind. It is not only a video report of the experiences and perspectives of some men involved in the service, it is also part of a resource for support services who currently do not engage with minority ethnic men or the stigma surrounding mental health problems.
