About Us
rethinkyourmind
We are into the third year of the creative project which has been growing considerably, and now has its own identity.
rethinkyourmind is born out of the Leicester based Community Interest Company SISO (Safe Inside Safe Outside) with the desire to raise awareness of mental health, help people look at the subject from a positive perspective, and bring a sense of community into circumstances that can make people feel disconnected.
Citizens Eye has partnered up with the project to enhance the support and extend the reach in to the wider communities.
