Promoting Well-being

Our comprehensive mental health services are at the heart of our Social Value efforts. We enhance individual and community well-being through various programs and services:

• Children and Young People: Visiting schools across Northern Ireland to equip and empower children and families in developing their emotional resilience and mental wellbeing.
• Daycare and Community Services: Providing opportunities for individuals to partake in social and leisure activities, personal development, and support to access training, education, employment, and community living skills.
• Housing Support: Empowering individuals living with mental health issues to live independently through our supported living services, housing support in the community, and support for individuals experiencing homelessness.
• Talking Therapies: Providing training and support to organizations and businesses to champion the mental health of their workforce. Offering talking therapies for individuals aged 18 and over in the Greater Lisburn and Dunmurry areas of the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT).
• Carers and Family Support: Supporting the mental health of carers and family members through emotional, practical, and financial support.
• Wise Talking: Our pilot program that empowers and supports young people aged 11-18 who are struggling with mental health issues.
