The difference we make

We believe having good mental health is fundamental to people’s lives, families and communities. All our projects work in different ways to help people achieve good mental health and emotional wellbeing.

For instance, our Ageing Better programme supports older people to feel less lonely, whereas our Children and Young People’s Team works with children who are struggling with issues such as anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression or low self esteem among other issues. Our outreach team works with the diverse multicultural communities that make up our local area to reduce stigma so more people feel confident to ask for help, and our therapists have specialist skills to support people with the most serious mental health issues.

                               

Regardless of which project or department they work for, our team is working hard to make things better for local people.

 

"My therapist was fantastic. She listened to me, understood my needs and guided me in the right direction. I am getting back to myself now. I never thought I needed to speak to anyone about my mental health, but if I hadn't, I would still be on a downward spiral instead of going onwards and upwards".

"The most useful part of the workshop was knowing I wasn't alone and learning new techniques. It was very informative and non-judgemental, no question or answer was a stupid one. The quality of my relationships/social life have improved.  I have recently returned to work and have had a few wobbly shifts but had lots of support from colleagues". 

40 year old man

“In the past I experienced feeling depressed and this was awful, I felt so low and sick. It felt painful, I couldn't do anything and couldn't be bothered, it's the worst feeling I've ever experienced. Now I feel extremely positive and find the good in all situations, I don't dwell on stuff anymore and I've made lots of different friends. People are kind to me, I make myself laugh and think on the bright-side, and I don't have to think to do this now, it just happens. You have been really friendly and made me feel welcome and I can express everything I'm feeling. I never thought anything would help or I could change, but it was so different. You've made me feel safe, which has been why I've been comfortable to share things. 

Young Person

My daughter's confidence has come on leaps and bounds since meeting you. I personally want to thank you for all your guidance, patience and advice. She now has a lovely set of friends and feels less socially awkward and anxious. She is happy and comfortable in her own skin. Its lovely to see how she has overcome her anxieties over the last few months” 

Parent

'When I started working with Kayleigh I felt that my confidence was at an all time low, I feel much better after working with her and looking forward to starting my opportunity in our local nursing home once the restrictions lift'
