EP014: Special Guest Kate Carney, You In Mind

In our third episode of our second Happiness Hub series, Liz & Keds talk to the very talented and motivated creator of Cheshire's Mental Health Hub You in Mind, Kate Carney.

We spoke to Kate about how the idea came about and how she worked at setting the platform up back in 2017 and how she keeps it up to date, which is no mean feat.

YouinMind.org is an online platform helping you find mental health and wellbeing services in Cheshire.

Simple in design and easy to use, YouinMind.org is designed to connect those with mental health needs with local providers and online resources that they would otherwise be unable to find.

Whether you're looking for professional support like counselling or wish to join a community group to improve your wellbeing, there's something for everything on the website. Simply search by condition and postcode to discover suitable services near you.

Kate's goal for YouinMind.org, was to make mental health services in Cheshire more accessible. Finding the right support can be a challenge; that's why she created this platform dedicated to signposting you to relevant services.

Profile picture for Kedren Elliott

Kedren Elliott

My name is Kedren, yes Kedren (my name is a bit strange, like myself).

I'm currently finishing my final year's training to become a counsellor and work at North Staffs Mind.
I'm also someone who has struggled with my mental health and lived with friends and family who have also faced challenges.

Through the happiness hub, I really want to help as many people as I can to find ways to live happier. It doesn't have to be complicated, there are little things we can do every day to help with our mental health and feel happier.

So that's a bit about me, but you can find out more by listening to our Hub Podcast!

Liz Parkin

I'm Liz, Kedren's podcasting side-kick, close friend and gin-buddy for over 10 years.

My mental health challenges started in my early teens and continued through a rather traumatic year in 2004.

It was at this point that I discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which quite literally changed my life - or maybe my perception on life...

In this podcast I will share with you some of the tips and techniques that I learned whilst training for my NLP Practitioner and then Master Practitioner over 14 years ago. NLP got me through some very dark times and given me a bag of mindset tools and strategies to help me keep my mental health, well... healthy!
