Check In Plus: Catch it before it becomes a crisis
Meta description: Mind brought experts to Westminster to ask how we stop people reaching crisis point. Check In Plus is built for the moment before things tip over.
On 3 September, Mind gathered experts at Westminster to discuss the role mental health services must play in preventing people from reaching crisis point. It is the right question. Most crises do not arrive out of nowhere. They build over weeks of poor sleep, rising pressure and conversations that never happen.
The best time to act is when you notice the warning lights, not when the engine stops.
What Check In Plus offers
Check In Plus takes the focused, no waiting list approach of The Check In and gives you more support around it. It includes follow up sessions, allowing you to return for updated support as your situation develops, whether you are continuing to work through the original issue or facing something new.
It is designed for people who can feel pressure building and want structured support before it becomes an emergency.
The half time team talk
In football, the half time team talk exists because a game can turn in fifteen minutes. A good manager does not wait until the final whistle to fix what is going wrong. Check In Plus is that team talk: a deliberate pause to reset the shape before the second half.
Who it suits
Check In Plus suits people going through a demanding period at work or home, parents under strain, people approaching a known difficult date, and anyone who wants more than a single session but is not ready for weekly therapy.
Frequently asked questions
How is Check In Plus different from The Check In? The Check In is a single focused session. Check In Plus adds more support around that session.
Is Check In Plus suitable in an emergency? No. If you are in crisis or at immediate risk, call 999, go to A&E, or call Samaritans on 116 123.
