TakeTen Mental Health & Suicide Prevention CIC

TakeTen Mental Health & Suicide Prevention CIC A local support group to raise awareness and support individuals, families and friends of those Ment

Take Ten is a local support group based In Dewsbury The aim of the group is to offer support and advice to individuals, families or friends of adults or children with Mental ill Health or Su***de and raise awareness of Mental ill Health and Su***de. Mental ill Health is the largest illness within the UK and can affect anyone at any point in their life, unfortunately the nature of Mental ill Health

carries a massive stigma as people do not always understand how to support an individual. Take Ten offers a range of talks delivered by both professionals and members, workshops to raise awareness on issues such as; self harm, anxiety,depression, abuse and so on as well as lessons on Mindfulness, coping strategies and arts & crafts that can be used to help occupy the mind. There will be a small range of holistic therapies available for a small donation which will be used to fund the group. The group is open to those over the age of 16, this is due to the nature of the group and the discussions that may take place. At times individuals may find the talks or activities difficult, we ask that should this be the case that you leave the room but not the building, this to ensure your safety and well being. All we ask is that you as a member of Take Ten:
*respect each other
* understand that anything discussed within the group remains confidential
* you tell us if you are unhappy and tell others if you are happy
* treat others how you wish to be treated
Thank you for your interest in Take Ten we hope to see you soon

Good evening people I hope you are all well. I need your help please it is very personal reason but as always I will be open and honest to you all.
So you all know just how hard my life has been, you know the traumas, the life experiences that you couldnt make up YET the strength and determination I have always had to make a bloody difference. You all saw me put together TakeTen which was my life only for 4 certain human beings full of envy, jealousy and pure evil to not only destroy what I lived for but took the support we gave endlessly to so many away from others... the reports made up about me and the things said still to this day make me feel sick to my stomach and why did they do it I will tell you because I WOULDNT LIE FOR THEM I really hope they are still so proud of themselves!
It has taken me more strength than I thought I had to rebuild myself from such an heart breaking experience I lost more than just TakeTen I lost the ability to help those who needed my help, I lost any belief I had in myself all replaced by the hatred of 4 people who for years I had helped supported and stood by, I looked in the mirror and even now I struggle to be able to see the person I had finally grown into, the person who helped everyone, the person who was not scared to make a stand for what is right...
When I hear people talk about TakeTen Mental Health & Su***de Prevention CIC its almost as if I am learning something new about myself, like on the 22nd Feb 2023 a part of me died and I became the person I had fought hard to never be again...
Anyway... I have taken time to rebuild myself, I am undergoing the hardest psychodynamic therapy with the most amazing lady and she really has dug deep into me...part of my theraphy is getting to know me, learning to stop listening to my 7 inside non stop voices (especially Derek he is a t**t) and instead listen and take on board how others see me and value me....I have also learnt that my non- neurotypical mind actually needs to see things on paper because computer can trick you!!
SO PLEASE PLEASE if I have helped you at all, or even if you just want to tell me about myself good or bad will you message me of even send an email I can print out it will all by 100% confidential noone other than me and my amazing therapist will ever see it.....
I need to let go and move on somehow and hopefully I can rebuild something so needed

Hi everyone
I hope you are all well. As most will know in Feb 23 due to some unkind actions of some folks we lost all we had worked so hard to build. There was no other option and our support had to stop, however the need as only ever grown and sadly the support for mental health and su***de is need more than ever. I am hoping that soon I will be able to once again offer the help and support that is so needed
Christmas is so close, the nights so long, dark and lonely, please check in on people
Sending all my love

I have still been doing all I can to help best I can and I have volunteered myself at.another place that has shown me even more how.much what we do is needed.

I am a come back.kid lol and always thinking of new ways and I will again find a way to.fund such a needed service!

Still can not believe all the begging we have had to and will have to do when the people in power should be making sure we can continue or FREE support

Afternoon everyone....
Just to clarify everything....
I have been doing all I can over last few months to the best of my ability, I had thought things where picking up and was hoping everything was going in the right direction however
Regardless to the fact I am there as much as I can be and work as hard has I can I am having to prioritise Su***de crisis over everything else...I am inundated with contact for help and support in so many ways and I do my best to give the right support.
It's become harder and harder over last few months has I have had no car so I have been relying on taxis and lifts to support people.
I really don't know how much more I can do!
We have no funds, I have no funds I have used all my savings over the years and although support from public is always great sadly its taking its toll on how and when support can be given
It has played heavy on my heart and mind and although on here is very quiet again I will express that our community is supported by TakeTen every single day there as never been a single day that support hasnt been given πŸ’œ
