🌿 Recovery is possible, and you can be a part of it! 🌿

Supportive Stays is seeking hosts across Cornwall to offer a safe and comforting space for people in mental health crisis. No clinical experience needed—just a spare room and a caring heart.

“My mind was in a really dark place. I didn’t see a future. Being here has taught me that recovery is an option. I have so much stability here and it's helping me with a routine and with things I can't manage yet, but hopefully I will in the future.”

First training day with our lovely Supportive Stays Hosts today!

This is Mary. She was one of the first hosts in a Hertfordshire programme that is very similar to Supportive Stays and started hosting people experiencing mental health crisis after her husband died.

She said:

“When I retired my husband died and my kids had moved out and a friend told me about the programme and said ‘You could do that.’ I didn’t think I could but she spurred me on and I’ve hosted about 50 times.

“It’s lovely to see someone come into your house looking lost and when thy leave with a smile on their face and say they’re coming back to visit you you know you’ve achieved something.”

It’s Mental Health Awareness week and this year’s theme is movement: get moving more for our mental health.
Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing.

Taking guests for a walk as part of their routine is one of the top things hosts tell us they enjoy doing with the people who stay with them as it’s a great way to connect and chat.
