Been going to some of the groups about a month, met some great people and feeling I’m getting the help needed and good to know I’m not alone.
All the staff and volunteers are the loveliest staff at MHIST. The group facilitator is nice as well. And mentioning no members names, but all the members are kind and helpful as well as caring. Thanks to everyone of you at MHIST for all your support. Thank you.

I keep telephoning and getting an answer machine.
MhIST’s switchboard normally operates from 9:30am to 12:30 pm and 1:30pm to 4:30pm. There are some occasions that the switchboard may be switched off during the afternoon when the answer machine will take over. The answer machine also automatically takes a message if the line is engaged.
-
Do I have to have a specific diagnosis from my GP/Psychiatrist to access MhIST’s services?
No, a specific diagnosis is not required. You just need to believe that your mental health and wellbeing would be improved by using MhIST’s services.
