Among the projects that West End Morecambe Big Local (WEM) has recently commissioned are a growing number of smaller initiatives.
WEM has recently funded two small Mental Health initiatives for West End.
Janette Edwards is a trained health and wellbeing coach who works to support and help people. WEM has funded her to deliver support work in the West End community. She will be offering Mental Health Support Services in the form of stress management / resilience workshops. These are aimed at helping with proactive approaches to people managing their own mental health needs. There will be two different kinds of workshops.
The first is for residents, looking at mental health management and coping strategies. These can, when necessary, be tailored to specific areas of need, for example, domestic violence, parenthood, addiction, unemployment, etc.
The second series of workshops is for service providers and West End organisations. The workshops for staff, volunteers and workers will take place separately from the community workshops.
Both are delivered in a friendly and relaxed manner in a safe welcoming space. A variety of teaching and methods are used in these sessions.
For more information about either kind of workshop, for dates and venues (or to arrange a workshop for your clients or staff and volunteers), contact Janette via phone on 07753 194 002 or email janetteedwards@hotmail.com.
