BETTER MENTAL HEALTH

The approach that YAWR Services will take in delivering the “Better Mental Health” programme will be as follows.

One to One Support

We engaged our current SPS clients who require additional support and clients that have been signed off. In addition services were promoted wider so that individuals not aware of our services could contact ourselves and receive support. 1:1 could include both F2F and remote support, dependent on the needs of the beneficiary. Individuals that were identified were those we are vulnerable and are not engaging in community activities. The aim is to develop a trusting relationship and encourage them to participate in when they are ready.

Group Activities

The group activities will be accessible to all. However, due to cultural and religious reasons we will operate ladies and men separate sessions that will be open to all Rotherham Communities.

Drop in sessions

YAWR Services organised informal “Drop In” sessions on separate days for men and women. This created an opportunity for individuals to come along for a cup of tea and have a general discussion in an informal setting. YAWR Services will offer a safe place where individuals can come and share their experiences. Our aim is to utilise “peer support” which involves people using their lived experience to offer support and guidance to others who may be experiencing struggles with their own mental health and wellbeing in a conducive environment.
