Aims of the service

• We work with clients to reduce build confidence, trust in yourself and others and feel more in control of your life
• Clients may have previously had difficulty in accessing and engaging with services or may have been excluded from mainstream services. We offer support both on a one-to-one basis and through group activity sessions, tailored to the individual and based around an ethos of client empowerment
• The peer group sessions are weekly and offer support in ways of improving well-being, increasing emotional resilience and independence. The groups are constantly being reviewed with opportunity to develop through co-production with clients who are accessing the ‘Client Voice’ Group.
