Please be aware we keep all of our meetings are for adults only, with the exception of the family group.
All groups are free to attend
Pop In Meetings
Pop-In Meetings are an opportunity to chat with other families in similar situations over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake! It is a good place to ask for advice about anything that is worrying you, with the group or on a 1:1 basis. There is never any pressure to talk, it’s fine to just sit and listen.
Evening Pop In Meetings
Evening Pop-In Meetings are essentially the same as the normal Pop-In Meetings, however, they give people who have commitments during the day time, an opportunity to come along.

Speaker Meetings

We have speakers from CAMHS and other services talking about topics relevant to our families. Each speaker decides how to give their presentation and there is always an opportunity to ask questions. Notes are taken from each meeting and shared on the Facebook group and website, along with any relevant videos. If you have a question you want to be asked but can’t make the meeting, we are always happy to ask for you.
Family Group
This is a pop-in meeting for anyone who wants to chat to other people in similar situations. Children are able to attend this meeting, but are the responsibility of their parents.
CAMHS Advice Clinics
We have regular advice clinics with Southampton CAMHS. This is open to any member of Re:Minds and your are able to book a ten-minute private appointment to seek advice from a CAMHS manager.

Other online groups
Our Facebook group is where we keep in touch with our families. The group is private and only for members of Re:Minds, no professionals are allowed into the Facebook groups as we want our families to have a safe, confidential place to share their lives. We have over 1100 members they are all people who are going through similar experiences and are on hand to share advice, information and sympathy 24 hours of the day. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ReMinds
Twitter is another way we try and keep in touch with our families. Whilst we don't tweet too often, we share events and other bits and pieces on there. Find us @RemindsSoton

You can book a private appointment to speak to her through Re:Minds. This is open to any members of Re:Minds, pre or post diagnosis.
Adult Mental Health Support
In January 2021 we launched a new group for parents and carers of young people with mental health conditions. We have linked with Community Mental Health Services in Southampton and hold talks and drop-in advice clinics during the day and evening to help those families who need extra advice and support for their young person. This is open to any member of Re:Minds who would like advice.

This group is for families who have children in crisis and at risk of being admitted to an adolescent psychiatric hospital or who are currently in or recently discharged from hospital. The group offers mutual support and advice from parents who have been through the same situation.
