Their support coordinato­rs are obliged to manage conflict of interest, so you can feel confident they will always present the most suitable providers to your needs.

SUPPORTED INDEPENDEN­T LIVING

Supported independen­t living (SIL) is when people with mental illnesses and disabiliti­es share a home together, usually with 24/7 support available to help each person live as independen­tly as possible.

Open Minds can help you find group or shared accommodat­ion so that you can receive day–to–day support with tasks such as cooking, laundry, and budgeting, whilst living in a suitable home.

They believe it’s important for everyone in the household to get along, so they try to match like–minded housemates, based on compatibil­ity and shared hobbies and interests.
