Washington Mind

About Washington Mind

Washington Mind is a local mental health charity based on Grasmere Terrace in Columbia, Washington, and has been a Charitable Incorporated Organisation since April 2014. It provides mental health services for people aged 11 and over living in and around Washington.

Its counselling service works with both adults and young people, and a dedicated young people's project supports younger clients. The office is open from Monday to Thursday with a later finish on Wednesdays, and on Friday mornings, and the charity's website explains how to refer. For people in the Washington villages it offers a closer alternative to travelling into Sunderland city centre. Phone line hours may differ from office hours, so check the website before calling. Enquiries can also be made by email.
