How can we help?

We know that having a mental health issue can sometimes leave people feeling isolated and alone. Our experienced Peer Support and Peer Mentoring team encourage people to re-engage with their communities and to get out and about enjoying activities, which
in turn leads to improved wellbeing and a healthier and fuller lifestyle. We help people develop their own user-led groups and sessions and have a variety of activities on offer within Liverpool at a number of locations.

Volunteer Peer Mentors

We ask our Volunteers to commit at least 2-3 hours per week to support someone, one to one to help them get out and about and engage with community. We have an established matching process and our Volunteers are key to our service.  Training and support
provided.

Peer Support Groups

An ideal opportunity to meet new people in a friendly and relaxed environment. People are warmly welcomed at a variety of user-led groups located in and around the city, we also organise social events in the community.

Activities take place in different locations and include digital skills, wellbeing sessions, physical activity and more.

Activities also take place online, and can be supported by our digital skills sessions.
