We place great emphasis on tools and techniques to improve quality of life in a spiritual and physical sense. It is vitally important to the maintenance of good mental health, that mind and body are kept in as good a shape as possible.
Utilising professionally trained staff, we use Mindfulness and Lifestyle practices that promote and maintain a healthy state in mental and physical capacities.
Individuals who have been with us for mental health counselling or addiction support often move on to take advantage of these Foundations programmes. Each route can be done separately or together, its is whatever a given individual may be comfortable with.
- Mindfulness – the state of living in the moment and learning to appreciate the things already in our lives and around us. The past cannot be changed, the future is yet to be played out. Only the specific moment you’re in truly matters. Most of what worries us is either in the past or is yet to come. Learn to appreciate the now.
- Lifestyle – Physical health is incredibly important to our overall state of positive wellbeing.
We run our very own Wellbeing Wednesdays every week up at Taylor Park, which include a Walk for Wellness session, Wellbeing Cafe and a Yoga Class.
Addiction Support
One of our key strengths in delivering our recovery services is that we understand the people we are primarily trying to help, reflected in our team. Both our Executive Officer and Addiction Support Worker are in recovery from addiction and have both been clean and sober for nearly 5 years now. Our lead Mental Health Counsellor has been sober for 15 years, and our Co-Founder hasn’t touched a drop for nearly 5 years!
We believe that having lived experience in recovery is invaluable and benefits the work we do in the addiction field. It provides a level of relativity, relatability and empathy second to none. This helps our service users by offering a better level of understanding of their struggles, needs and capabilities.
We understand and recognise that the people coming through our doors have a variety of different addictions, including substances and/or behavioral addictions. They are also at various stages in their recovery journey, and we try to deliver a range of addiction support services to cater for that.
Currently, we provide 1-2-1 addiction support sessions in person, via zoom or telephone and use a combination of the 12-step programme and CBT Recovery tools. In addition to this, we expanded our offering to help people with behavioural addictions such as Gambling. We upskilled our team to become SMART Recovery Facilitators and now offer a SMART recovery group session, as an alternative to the 12 steps.
We also support the families, friends and loved ones of people suffering from addiction, by offering them 1-2-1 support sessions too.
