As You Are
Mental wellbeing
We'd like to recruit, train and support four additional volunteer counsellors who will, in turn, support more individuals experiencing mental ill-health, isolation and distress.
About this cause
Mental health conditions are a real cause for distress and disadvantage in many individuals and families. We provide psychological support to help people overcome issues that are the root cause or may amplify mental ill-health. We aim to reduce distress and challenge stigma associated with this.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Recruiting and training more volunteers will enable more people to access psychological support with us and reduce the length of time between contacting us and getting support. This will mean fewer people living with feelings of distress or attempting suicide. Better mental health leads to fewer people feeling isolated and stronger, more resilient relationships within families and communities.
