Welcome to Penumbra365. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or in distress, are worried about your mental health or looking for ways to improve your mental wellbeing, then we can support you in a way that matters to you.
Many of our team are peer colleagues who have lived experience of mental health challenges. This means we have some understanding of what you’re going through, and we can support you on your journey with understanding and compassion. So if your mental wellbeing is being impacted by whatever’s going on in your life, we can support you to find a way forward.
How Support Works
We will connect with you to talk through how you are feeling, what matters most to you and explore your options for support that is meaningful to you. Whether you need short term distress support, signposting to resources within your community, to meet other people with similar experiences at our friendly group workshops or up to 6 months of one-to-one support; we will support you to take you next steps.
Where will support happen
We want the support to work for you and that’s why it’s flexible. It can take place over the phone, through video call, at our comfortable offices or in and around your local community. Let us know what works best for you. Our doors are open from 9am to 9pm everyday, along with walk-in support at our Mackenzie Building.
How to access support
It’s free and easy to access support. If you’re aged 18 and over and live in Aberdeen City, you can access support by contacting us directly. This is called self-referral. Please email or telephone us using the details at the top of this page. We are open every day from 9am to 5pm. Don’t forget you can visit our Facebook page to keep up to date with our activities around the community.
How is Penumbra365 funded?
Our service is funded by Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership. Support is provided by Practitioners and Peer Practitioners.
