ABOUT.
INSIDE OUT WELL-BEING .
We are Inside Out Well-being.
A leading provider of culturally-informed well-being support in the UK. Our drive to do things differently fuels everything we do, our services, our communities, our reasons to exist as a social enterprise. We pay attention to aspects of mental well-being that others neglect, particularly identity and culture.
We began as a project in 2017 with one purpose, to directly address the UK’s lack of
diversity and inclusive mental health and well-being support. This mission birthed our
events, talks, workshops, healing sessions, staff, and leadership training. This enables people
to understand mental health through our intersectional lens and provide psychology-based
life skills to optimise mental health and well-being for all.
Our sessions are delivered by a team of qualified trauma-informed and culturally-informed cognitive behavioural therapists, clinical psychologist and social worker. We combine experiential and evidence-based knowledge to facilitate safe spaces to have uncomfortable conversations, improve
awareness and to develop practical actions for wellness.
For every paid corporate workshop we will fund a workshop for young people from ethnically minoritised communities in the UK.

Unfortunately in today’s society the stigma around mental health is still prominent, At Inside Out UK we as a team are creating opportunities to teach and empower young people to improve their mental health and well-being."
