Mental health

We understand that suitable housing with the right support is an essential part of overcoming mental health challenges. Our range of mental health support services include: supported housing, supported housing with care, respite care and nursing or residential homes, community support and floating support.

The amount of support we provide varies depending on needs, and can be anything from a few hours a week, up to full-time support or intensive support over a short period of time to help achieve a goal. We also encourage peer support as much as possible, where mutual support and a shared journey empowers people to make the changes and learn together.

Mental health is something that we can all relate to and something we provide support for in all services. Specialist mental health services support people with a diagnosed mental health condition, which can be anything from:

Anxiety and panic disorders
Bipolar disorder
Depression
Personality disorders

Through self-development and collaborative support with staff, the people we support gain self-confidence and improved emotional wellbeing on their pathway to independence and recovery.

We support people using the Recovery Star model which focuses on the following areas:

Managing mental health
Physical health and self care
Living skills
Social networks
Work
Relationships
Addictive behaviour
Responsibilities
Identity and self-esteem
Trust and hope
