At Braford District and Craven Talking Therapies, there are options available to help you overcome some of these barriers. You can get access to free, confidential talking therapy if you’re experience mental health difficulties:
- As a service, we try and adapt our therapy to the individual’s needs and beliefs, for example, if you want to improve your faith as part of your treatment, this can also be included in therapy.
- If your first language is not English, you can still have access to support – we have some clinicians who can offer therapy in other languages.
- We can also offer interpreter appointments.
- We have translated materials so you can understand the information in more detail.
Although there are already racial, ethnic and culturally diverse groups benefitting from the support we offer, we are always looking to increase the number of people from diverse groups accessing our service as well as improve the service we offer. Please get in contact if you wish to share any feedback.
