Mental Wellbeing

I’m going through a hard time and would like some support and people to talk to.

Qualified social workers care for individual social, emotional and mental health needs through support sessions. Experience greater mental wellbeing, increased confidence, a sense of belonging and access to other people and support networks.

Our social workers can cover a range of issues and topics to assist in reducing social isolation and improving mental wellbeing and health, including:

• social isolation
• carer stress
• financial issues
• family matters
• mental health
• loss and grief

We have also recorded a podcast episode: Understanding Grief and Bereavement, where Helping Hand’s Coordinating Chaplain, Paul Hodgson, shares how grief affects us both physically and emotionally, and how important it is to walk alongside those experiencing it.

Grief and Loss Support Group

Our Grief and Loss group provides therapeutic peer support for people who have experienced grief and loss, and want the opportunity to connect with others who have shared similar experiences. It is a safe space to share individual stories of grief and loss, and can be a beneficial part of the grieving process.

With a maximum of six people in a group, our one hour sessions are delivered by a qualified social worker in a calm, supportive environment.
