Health and Wellbeing Support
Wellbeing
/ˌwɛlˈbiːɪŋ/
noun
a state of being healthy, happy, and comfortable, both physically and mentally
Our wellbeing support includes group activities and 1:1 support. We’ll meet you where you are on your wellbeing journey, and guide you along the way.
Wellbeing Cafe
Our Wellbeing Cafes are a safe and supportive group, ideal for anyone who is looking for an opportunity to meet new people and get involved in fun, creative and engaging activities.
Wellbeing Wednesday
Wellbeing Wednesdays offer you a safe space to talk to one of our practitioners about what you are experiencing in your life, and have your thoughts and feelings heard without judgement.
Structured Support
Our Structured Support sessions are our most intensive type of Health and Wellbeing Support. Through this service you will have a Health and Wellbeing Practitioner allocated to you.
What can I expect?
Your worker will arrange to meet with you to get a more detailed understanding of the issues you are experiencing. You’ll create a plan together for how best to support you with your wellbeing need.
Support takes place over the course of 6 sessions, with the aim of helping you be better able to manage your emotions and behaviours, as well as having an improved sense of wellbeing.
Sessions can take place in person or remotely via phone or video calls – whatever you prefer. Your worker will listen to your thoughts and worries, and offer you practical advice and strategies to take away and use in your day-to-day life to manage your emotions and improve resilience.
When support comes to an end, your worker may signpost or refer you onto additional support (such as our counselling or social prescribing services) if they feel it would benefit you. Alternatively, we may direct you back to Wellbeing Wednesday for a continued offer of a safe space to come and talk to someone.
What is it?
We know that opening up to people and sharing thoughts and feelings about things that upset us isn’t easy – it might even be something that you’ve never had the opportunity to do before. Wellbeing Wednesday can be a good way to get familiar with opening up about your feelings before beginning a more structured support programme. It also allows us to connect you with the right service to suit your needs, whether that’s Wellbeing Cafe, Counselling, or something else. Our practitioners will offer you guidance and suggest suitable next steps to help you achieve positive changes
