Dewis Cymru

Dewis Cymru is THE place to go if you want information or advice about your well-being – or want to know how you can help somebody else.

When we talk about your well-being, we don’t just mean your health. We mean things like where you live, how safe and secure you feel, getting out and about, and keeping in touch with family and friends.

No two people are the same and well-being means different things to different people. So Dewis Cymru is here to help you find out more about what matters to you.

We’ve got information that can help you think about what matters to you, and we’ve also got information about people and services in your area that can help you with the things that matter to you.

ICAN Mental Health Service

I CAN is our new approach to improving the mental health and wellbeing of people across North Wales.

It is rooted in local communities and led by people with lived experience of mental health problems, people working and volunteering in mental health services and those involved in local mental health charities.

Through I CAN we aim to:

  • Give a voice to people with lived experience of mental health problems
  • Shift the focus of care to prevention and early intervention; ensuring people receive the right support in the right place at the right time
  • Empower people to take control of managing their mental health and wellbeing so they can flourish
  • Encourage open and informed conversations about mental health in order to tackle the stigma which can prevent people seeking support

To achieve this, we have introduced new I CAN mental health support, an I CAN Work employment programme, free I CAN Mental Health Awareness Training, and a range of I CAN volunteer opportunities.
