Guernsey Mind and the Committee for Health & Social Care have entered into a partnership to deliver mental health and wellbeing services.
The new agreement, which provides Guernsey Mind with funding of £65,000, will enable them to further develop intervention services.
The funding will help the charity to continue to deliver their supported self-help programme, which supports islanders with their mental wellbeing.
This agreement will come into effect on 1 March and will run for one year, with an option to extend it.
Jo Cottell, Chief Executive of Guernsey Mind, said: "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Committee for Health and Social Care to establish this partnership.
"This funding provides our team with some much-needed certainty and allows us to carry on offering our supported self-help programme to the community.
"Early intervention and prevention are crucial in mental health so we are delighted that HSC has recognised the importance of Guernsey Mind's work at a community level."
