Inclusion Support
We offer one-to-one support tailored to your needs, helping you to overcome mental health barriers to being involved and included in your local community. With this direct support you will be allocated an Inclusion Coach who will provide emotional and practical support towards a focused goal. With a gradual, step-by-step approach the aim will be to help you access community services and/or help you get involved with your community. The support will typically be 8 to 12 sessions over a 3 to 6 month period.
