Bedfordshire and Luton Mind

Bedfordshire and Luton Mind is an independent voluntary organisation affiliated to National Mind.  BLM is dedicated in supporting individuals experiencing mental health difficulties.  All the work we do is based on recovery for the individual; it includes social inclusion in our local communities as well as reducing stigma that is still associated with mental health.
