Calm and Centred CIC supports ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ 2023

_

Newly renovated Mary Seacole Memorial Gardens in Chapeltown, Leeds…

The Mary Seacole Memorial Gardens on Chapeltown Road in the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, has been overgrown and derelict for many years.
The Coping with Bereavement Project (Calm and Centred CIC and MH Therapies) in collaboration with the Mary Seacole Nurses Association were awarded the Windrush Day Grant 2021 to upgrade and renovate the Gardens in order to honour the lives of the hundreds of the Windrush generation who were settled in Chapeltown Leeds between 1948 and 1971 working in local hospitals, factories, buses and trains.
The Memorial Gardens will celebrate, recognise and build awareness of historical facts and aims to deepen shared understanding of the Windrush generation and their legacy by memorialising the departed, displaying the names, biographies, major achievements, narrative and other points of interest at prominent locations within the gardens for the education and inspiration of all visitors and to foster a greater sense of pride for the contributions made by the British Caribbean Community from the Chapeltown area of Leeds.

A big “Thank You” to the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government for awarding this Grant!

Welcome to Calm & Centered

At Calm&Centred our main focus is crisis prevention by utilising therapeutic interventions and coping strategies designed to help prevent community members from escalating from low level mental health issues to a full blown crisis.

One of the ways in which we tackle this issue is by delivering person centred health and wellness therapies which are specifically geared towards helping individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety (low level mental health problems) and related issues.

Some of our projects and services:

  • Coping With Bereavement Project (CWBP)
    • Monthly Bereavement ‘Care Cafe’s’
    • Mary Seacole Memorial Gardens, Chapeltown, Leeds
    • Culturally Sensitive Bereavement Counselling
  • Culturally sensitive counselling and psychotherapy
  • It’s All About You Women’s Group (IAAU)
  • Community Crisis Prevention Service (CCPS)

We also cater for those who just want to be pampered, feel great and wish to invest in themselves, with a one to one tailor made service.

We also facilitate group sessions that encourage positive interactions amongst those seeking to enhance their well-being.
