EXPLORE A ROADMAP TO POSITIVE CHANGE:
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ? .This is an informal , safe , confidential service where I believe the main thing is to build a trusting relationship built on empathy and work together towards a positive outcome, building resilience and putting supports in place for a brighter future. I have over ten years experience in social care between work and volunteering. This includes youth mentoring, youth advocate, rehabilitation assistant to people with acquired brain injuries, teen helpline operator, prison outreach programme, supporting victims of crime in the central criminal court, restorative justice panel member, working in the homeless sector and supporting people with addiction and challenging behaviour. Some words are easily thrown around but respect, non judgemental and unconditional positive regard are areas that are the basis of this service and what I feel have worked well over the years.( Along with a good sense of humour !!). INDIVIDUAL : Meetings can be in a relaxed setting with no pressure to talk, such as a persons own home, a park , a café/restaurant etc. Over the years I have found people are more likely to open up and talk when not under pressure to sit in front of a professional and talk. GROUP: Join a weekly group of like minded people for a tea and chat and see where things lead to, you might be surprised at the help it makes. INFORMAL EXERCISE THERAPY: Although not for everyone exercise plays a major role in our mental health, with the chemicals released playing a massive role from even some basis exercise.
