Mental health

Volunteer Services recently set up two new mentoring programmes. One is in the Community Rehabilitation Service and the other with Get Connected.

The Golden Key Peer Mentor Team is a network of people with lived experience who support Golden Key clients.

Wellspring Healthy Living Centre, Carers Support Centre in partnership with Dhek Bhal, Happy City, Second Step and Oasis-Talk were awarded a total of £75,000 to trial different approaches to solution-focused brief interventions to support those older people whose emotional problems contribute to their loneliness.

Second Step’s very own Terry Starr has been open about living with OCD to raise awareness of the issue. This weekend he is taking to the airwaves on South Bristol’s BASE Radio in a special edition of the “Second Step Recovery Tunes” show.

Bristol Mental Health’s Community Rehabilitation team took to the airwaves on Saturday 9 July to talk about the service’s first year.

Bristol Community Rehabilitation Service was really pleased to be rated good in a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission.

Seven voluntary sector organisations will celebrate the great work done by their volunteers at a special event in Bristol’s Brunswick Square tomorrow, Friday 3 June at 12.30pm.

Second Step runs successful stress-busting courses as part of our pop-up Recovery College operating across Bristol and to help manage your stress our Recovery College manager Amanda Headley-White has come up with her top five tips.
