Lancashire Positive Minds was founded in December 2019 by a parent with lived experience of supporting both her children with Mental Health and Neurodiverse needs. It was during a crisis situation that it was clear there was a gap in services for supporting parents and carers who are often at the forefront of caring responsibilities. 

Whilst the children and young people are given access to services to support them, parents and carers often get unnoticed and left unsupported and unable to talk to friends and family for fear of judgement, criticism and burdening others with these difficulties.
