At Leicester Mental Health, we believe that good mental health is as vital as physical health. Whether you’re looking for support for yourself, or for someone you care about, our aim is to guide you to the right place, with compassion, clarity and local focus.

Leicester Mental Health is run by Knus Mental Health C.I.C. (a registered community interest company). It is a locally-focused platform for Leicester & Leicestershire (and surrounding areas) emphasising community, peer support and lived-experience volunteers.

No. The service is free of charge for people living in the UK, aged 18 and over.

Peer support is when people use their own lived experience of mental health difficulties to help others.

Understanding without judgment. Peers “get it” because they’ve faced similar challenges.

A peer support session might include:

• talking openly about what’s been happening for you
• sharing experiences and coping strategies
• exploring what kind of support you might need next
• setting gentle goals for your wellbeing

Sometimes, it’s simply about being listened to, in a safe, confidential space where you’re accepted without judgment and supported with genuine understanding.
