Help About MindMate
MindMate Leeds is the name for all the different ways children and young people in the city can get support with their mental health and wellbeing.
We’re here for your mental health.
What is the MindMate website?
The MindMate website is an information hub for Leeds, and includes:
- free and accredited services available in the city
- advice and information on a range of mental health issues
- stories and experiences of young people and their mental health.
- guidance for self-care and where necessary, self-referral
While MindMate is focused on the needs of young people, it’s also a valuable resource for professionals, as well as parents and carers. In fact, the service was co-designed by young people, professionals and carers, and they still have a say in every aspect of MindMate.
For professionals
If you’re a professional working with children and young people, MindMate provides information on support services available, help with referrals and access to a wide range of resources.
Information for professionals
For parents and carers

Please note, we can’t diagnose emotional problems or mental health conditions on this site and we can’t respond to any enquiries about your mental health. But we can connect you to a variety of services that can help you. Visit our ‘Find support’ page to view support services.
Future in Mind
MindMate is part of the Future in Mind:Leeds Strategy – a plan for Leeds explaining how people will work together to improve children and young people’s emotional and mental health.
