Types of Support we offer...

Structured Mental Health Groups 

Educational groups such as ‘Beat the Blues’ and ‘Choose to Change’, structured to include coping strategies and help manage low mood and improve your wellbeing.

Recovery Focused Groups 

We run a range of fun and creative groups such as Arts & Craft Groups/ Drama for Confidence/ Creative Writing/ Healthy Cooking and much more…...These are great therapeutic groups that help to build confidence, explore your talents and learn new skills.

Peer Led and Self Support Groups  

Set up and run by people with lived experience of mental health difficulties. These are small and friendly groups to help you make that first step back “out there”.

Drop in Sessions

For informal support and advice.  Where you can find out more about the social hub and receive friendly and emotional support when you need it. You don’t need an appointment once you are a accepted into the Service,  just drop by and staff will be at hand to answer any questions or queries you might have.

Social Activities

We offer a range of recreational activities such as walks, cinema visits, meals out, coffee mornings and social outings to help improve your social health, build friendships and reduce isolation.

 One-to-Ones

An opportunity to sit and talk to one of our staff members about anything that might be troubling you, with an opportunity to create a support/ recovery plan with SMART outcomes.

Volunteer Training

We are a third sector organisation and rely on the goodwill and support of Volunteers to help run our Groups.

As well as helping us and the people we work with, volunteering can also help to develop skills and experience for your CV, while giving you the opportunity to meet new people and giving back to you local community.

We also offer the opportunity to complete a 6 week course in an introduction to Principals and Practices of Peer Mentoring, which allows you to progress into a Peer Mentor Role.

To become a Recovery Practitioner you would need to complete a 12 week level 2 course: Supporting People in recovery, which means you could then support others like yourself.
