Welcome to Mature Minds Matter!
We are here to create a warm, friendly, and welcoming space for people to meet with their peers and share their experiences!
The purpose of our network is to use our combined knowledge to ensure the voice of older people with lived experience can combat and reduce stigma and positively influence mental health support across Greater Manchester.
We are also here to join up existing networks and recruit individual members to act as experts by experience and leaders to inform issues around age-appropriateness, awareness, language, stigma, access and interventions. We aim to support and empower individuals and provide lived experience expertise to various projects across Greater Manchester such as complex emotional needs, eating disorders and self-harm.
We are always looking for people to join our growing network, so if you are interested and would like to learn more or have an informal conversation, please contact gmopn@macc.org.uk or call us at Manchester Community Central, 0161 834 9823.
