Who we are:

Off the Record Bristol (OTR) is a mental health social movement by and for young people.

What we do: 

The organisation provides mental health support and info to young people aged 11-25 across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

OTR also provides specialist support for anyone identifying as LGBTQ+ and young people experiencing bullying, self-harm or wanting to campaign against mental health stigma.

OTR’s services are free, confidential, self-referral and provide a variety of support projects to combat mental and emotional health needs such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, abuse, eating issues and family/relationship problems.

OTR sees mental health much like physical health – it needs to be looked after and maintained. Young people are invited to sign-up for OTR’s various services online at otrbristol.org.uk, or drop-in to one of OTR’s hubs – an informal space to learn more about what we do.

OTR works in schools, colleges and youth clubs to promote good mental health and provide tips and tricks for young people to look after their wellbeing. One of OTR’s projects, The Resilience Lab, provides stress-busting group workshops sharing guidance on how to deal with life’s ups and downs.

Why we need you: 

All of OTR’s services are free for young people. To help us to continue providing our services, and innovating in the way we support young people’s mental health, donations and fundraising events supporting OTR are very much appreciated and encouraged!
