Changing Minds with Pick up a Penny

changing minds

Fantastic local charity run by Sara Young, who is married to GAP Group Operations Director Peter Young. Changing Minds offers a multidisciplinary range of mental health interventions for children, young people, and their families. They propose to establish a network of centres, the first of their kind, across the country to provide these therapies as well as CPD, training, and events for the wider mental health community. The centres will expand upon the range of therapies currently available on the NHS, provide new referral routes to help people more quickly and reduce waiting times, alleviating pressure on the system overall in the region.
