We have been working with MHSU for over 7 years and understand the needs to encourage and help students to their learning goals.

We work with students in there own environment – hospital or supported housing, as a bridge between mental health services and their further inclusion into their community. This method has proven a very effective part in patient recovery. By teaching clients in their own surroundings, our service takes away those barriers to allow them to concentrate on developing new skills.

By being a community led group we are helping the service user to make outside links which they may not be able to achieve otherwise, especially if they are hospital based.

Our aim is to compliment the organizations we work with, not only by making links with community led groups, but by being able to spend an hour or two with a client that may not be achieved with a nurse or OT through their own workload. Our status as non-medical staff restricts the barrier of clinical structure which have encouraged patients to speak more freely about things they feel reluctant to tell hospital staff. With co-operation from the patient we feedback through supervision sessions with staff members or key workers.

Partnerships

We welcome the chance to work with other organizations that support and work in the mental health field. If you feel we can work together please contact us
