Living with a mental health condition can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming. The right support at home helps people stay well, keep their tenancy and take part in their community.<\/p>\n
Every support plan starts with what the person wants to achieve, whether that is managing their money, attending appointments, returning to education or making friends.<\/p>\n
Regular visits help with sleep, meals, medication and keeping the home. Small steady steps build confidence.<\/p>\n
Support workers who know someone well notice changes early and can help them contact their care coordinator or GP before things reach crisis point.<\/p>\n
We work with community mental health teams, social workers and housing providers so support is joined up.<\/p>\n
Support often starts with more help and gradually steps back as confidence grows. A goal might begin with a support worker going to the shops with someone and end with them going alone.<\/p>\n
People with serious mental illness are more likely to have physical health problems. Support can include help to attend health checks, eat well and stay active.<\/p>\n
With the person’s agreement, we work with family and friends who are important to them, so everyone understands the plan and knows how to help.<\/p>\n
