Quote  from  Mental  Health  team  professional

The support staff are very calm, kind and genuine. They are insightful about my mental health issues and recovery. I feel heard and understood for the first time in a long time. I’m regaining my belief in myself and my strength and it’s beginning to make a big difference in my life. I hope to thrive not just survive and I’m confident Mind is there for that journey in an important, essential and unique way.

Achievements:

• We have increased our level of service provision 800% since beginning in August 2017.
• We have successfully supported clients to live independently after being historical regular attendees in psychiatric hospitals each year due to the lack of support in their lives to manage their wellbeing.
• We have successfully supported clients to manage their lives better, including improving self-care skills, progressing to independent living, coping better with home organisation, accessing support groups and challenging difficulties such as anti-social behaviour from neighbours and unhelpful decisions by the mental health services, all with positive results.
• The clients and families of clients we support give very positive feedback on our service.
• We are always there to raise early levels of concern if a client were to show signs of regress in their mental health.
