🚨 Important Update from Stable Minds🚨

Our original Instagram pages were recently hacked and permanently suspended, which means we’ve sadly lost access to years of memories, updates and community connections.

But we’re starting fresh — and stronger — with one new joint page for both our children & young people’s centre and our adult services.

👉 Please follow to stay connected, see our latest projects and continue being part of the Stable Minds community.

Every follow, share and tag helps us rebuild what we’ve lost. Thank you for always standing beside us.

With warmth,
The Stable Minds Team

We were honoured to welcome the former Mayor of Knutsford as they shared powerful words on the importance of early mental health support for children and young people

Their continued support means so much to us — and to the families we serve

Because when our leaders speak up about children’s wellbeing, it helps break stigma, raise awareness, and open more doors for those who need care most

Together, we’re building a stronger, more supported future for every child

Our £60 sessions cost less than most around Knutsford, and they go further too!
You get expert, trauma-informed support for your child, and we reinvest every penny back into our community.
That means more fully funded places
More outreach
More safe spaces for children who would otherwise go without
This is therapy that gives back. And it starts with you
