This year we have continued to provide accessible counselling services to the community. Supporting 28 clients with at least 12 weeks of counselling which has either been free to access or at a significantly reduced rate. The reviews that we carry out around how the client feels that have progressed has shown that 31 percent have made significant progress and 52 percent have made progress. This means that clients have walked away experiencing significantly reduced feelings of anxiety, describe themselves as liking themselves more and are more able to find fulfilling relationships with other. We have developed closer relationships with groups such as Home Start and Early Help who now refer some of the families that they work with to us. The feedback from these organisations has been positive.We have also run our Tuesday morning Chill and Chat cafe. The cafe has given groups a people a chance to meet up with others, form new friendships and find out information from the services that are brought in by us or by our partner organisation UK Harvest. The services offered have been Supporting You (a new council service to help out with finances and local services). We have also had Age UK visit to talk about supporting others and yourself in older age, as well as offering a chance to volunteer with them. Chichester Wellbeing and Clarion Futures have also visited to offer support and advice where needed. Our local community warden also attends these cafes regularly and can use it as an opportunity to carry out welfare checks with local residents, manage any issues and get to know new residents.We have been running Relax Kids relaxation sessions as an after-school club and a Home Education group. Parents of some of these children have told me that their young people benefitted from these sessions and are starting to find other ways to manage their bigger feelings or have started to support others when they see that they are finding it difficult to stay calm.We have also run Workshops with a Mental Health and Wellbeing group in haywards Heath or are aiming tor educe stigma around mental health conversations. We ran workshops on Coping with Life, Managing Depression, Strategies for Resilience and Calm and Managing Anxiety. The attendees of these workshops have commented that they have found them useful, finding it helpful to have strategies that they can take away to help themselves or to support a loved one. The group that put these workshops on are very vocal about how useful they find our company’s input into these workshops and the ethos and manner in which we deliver them. They intend to keep our company coming back to offer any further workshops and they hope to extend the workshops outside of their local area and will keep us on board to support with this.We have also delivered 2 Youth Mental health First Aid workshops to support those who work with young people so that they are able to spot signs of possible mental health issue in young people and can feel more confident in offering support. Feedback from these courses talks about how the course (which is recent by the Mental Health First Aid England) needs updating but that the delivery is engaging, enjoyable and confidence boosting.
We have many different stakeholders depending on the service being offered. For our counselling service our stakeholders are our clients and we review with them every 6 weeks whether anything needs to be changed or added to their individual sessions. We have not consulted stakeholders about how the counselling agency runs in general, this is something to consider for this coming year. Our stakeholders for the cafe are the people who attend and we regularly consult with them as to what services they would like to come in and support, suggestions have included, financial services and Stonepillow, our local homeless charity. We are planning to carry out a survey in the next couple of months to ask how people feel about the coming to the cafe and what they would suggest for improvements as we begin to think how we can continue to develop and improve our service. Our stakeholders for our courses are the people who hire us. MHFA automatically ask for feedback about the course, which goes on to their website. Having read through all of the feedback I know that a lot of the feedback is around the content of the course which I cannot change, there are also some comments around making the activities more physical so that people are not sat for long periods of time. For our bespoke workshops our stakeholders are the people who hire us and the people who attend. The group who hire me run drop in sessions each week and in those drop ins they will talk to people about what courses they would like to attend, what they would like to find out and how they feel about the ones they have been to. The feedback around the courses is nearly always positive, with people feeling that they have learnt much more about that particular subject. Once the mental wellbeing group have held these sessions they then get in touch with me and let me know what they would like to put on next and what people would like covered. They will also let me know what improvements would help, such as clearer notes or more activities.The stakeholders in my Relax Kids sessions are the parents and young people who attend. At the end of each half term I will sit with the group at the end and ask what they have liked, what they would like to do more or less of and what topic they would like to do next term. Young people are very honest and some will say that they find it difficult to take part in some of the activities and together we will work out how we can support them to do that activity or whether they just don’t.
