Men In Mind is a mental health project for black and minority ethnic men. The project aims to develop mental health support services, and to raise awareness of mental health issues amongst black and minority ethnic men through a programme of events and activities:

One to One Support

We have a number of support workers with different ethnic language skills who are able to provide short-term, one-to-one support. The principal aim of this support is to encourage people to access MIM and other mental health services.

Open Drop-In

We run an open drop-in every Wednesday, 1-4pm at 4 Duncan Place (top floor) Edinburgh. Facilities include a pool table, table tennis, music, play station, board games, and tea and coffee.

A worker is always on hand if someone would prefer to just have a chat. We also run social events which provide an evening of music, entertainment and fun!

Educational Programmes

The project runs a series of workshops/activities with other organisations to raise awareness of mental health issues amongst black and minority ethnic men.

Men In Mind Forum

The project runs a forum every two months where black and minority ethnic men are able to come together to discuss mental health issues, and how Men In Mind and other services can best meet their needs.

health in mind's Information and Resource Centre includes a specialist section on the mental health needs of black and minority ethnic men.
