Information Service

For any mental health enquiry, large or small, we provide information and signposting to mental health services for people living in Oxfordshire.

We’re here for people affected by mental ill health, as well as families, friends, carers and professionals. You can ask us a specific question about mental health or mental health services, or tell us about your situation and we’ll suggest some options for getting you help and support.

We can’t give medical advice or make a diagnosis, but we’re certainly able to point you in the direction of someone who can.

Contact Details

Open Monday to Thursday, 9:30am to 4:30pm; Friday 9:30am to 4:00pm. The service is closed on bank holidays.

We understand the courage it can take to ask for help and support, every call is important to us. From time to time our lines can get busy, if you are unable to get through please leave us a voicemail and we will call you back.

When you’re looking for support and/or wish to access Oxfordshire Mind’s services, we’ll offer you a one-off ‘Advice & Guidance Session’ with one of our Wellbeing Service workers. This session takes place over the phone and lasts around 30 minutes. Advice & Guidance sessions are available to people living in Oxfordshire and are age 18 and over.

Advice and Guidance Sessions

During the session, we will:

• Take some personal information
• Complete a brief wellbeing questionnaire
• Talk about your mental health, lifestyle and wellbeing
• Provide information about relevant services, including our own

What happens next

After your session, you’ll be emailed or posted a summary of what was recommended. This will happen within 7 days of you having your Advice & Guidance session. These one-off sessions are confidential and free. We’re here to help you decide what’s best for you.

Advice & Guidance Sessions are open to anyone over the age of 18 living in Oxfordshire who wants information and support around their mental health. If you’re worried about your own mental health, this can be a good place to start getting help.

To arrange an Advice & Guidance Session, simply contact the Information Service, or fill in online form here.

You cannot book an Advice & Guidance session on behalf of someone else, this is a self-referral service only.
