Mental Health

We offer a wide range of mental health services to help people recover from mental distress. This includes residential placements, day activities including support groups, social groups and a gardening project, as well as support for people who look after someone in mental distress, when it is not part of their job (we call these people 'carers'.) 

There is a list of these services on the right under 'more pages'. Click on each one to find out more about how we can help.

We work closely with the health service and other organisations. Everything we do is based on the idea of  'recovery', which is supported by the National Institute for Mental Health in England.

What is recovery?
The mental health charity 'Changes' explains it in this way:

"Recovery promotes independence, personal autonomy and development, raises self-esteem, confidence and personal aspirations, enabling you to lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life. In short, recovery is learning how to live with, rather than suffer from, mental distress." (taken from Changes website.)
