How does it work?

We can offer you practical and emotional support to improve and maintain good mental wellbeing. Support is offered over a fixed period of time. This can happen on a one-to-one basis and through group workshops. We can also connect you to helpful activities and resources within your community.

The support we offer is flexible. It can take place in and around your local community, and over the phone. 

Many of our team members have their own lived experience of living with mental health challenges, and so they come with an understanding of how you might be feeling
