Our activities have been carried out for the benefit of our communities which include front line staff and their families, poverty stricken and deprived communities, and trainee counsellors. We have provided mental health support, safeguard planning and support, mental health awareness work within the frontline community, free face to face counselling, free telephone counselling, free video counselling, stabilisation of community resources work, networking with crucial community providers, and awareness work on gender-inclusive acceptance for the mental health field and frontline providers.We work closely with this social prescribing network across Cornwall as a leading provider of free counselling to those within our community who need the support most but cannot access it or have to wait for extreme lengths of time for over-prescribed services. We work closely with GP surgeries as a cohesive unit to support their clients from start to end, ensuring a continuation of information and updates that deliver more significant outcomes for patients and providers.This has had a positive impact across the county with less stress and strain on GP surgeries, reduced medication requirements, reduced repeated appointments, reduced admission to A&E for those who have previously engaged in severe self-harm, and reduced pressure on CMHT, paramedics and police. We have worked closely with community resources and organisations to reduce suicides as a partner of the “zero suicides” movement and reduce reoffending rates. 2022-2023 saw a huge shift in focus based on key stakeholder feedback to support the cost-of-living-crisis victims and community members.Our placement opportunities for trainee counsellors have provided specialist training and development to our volunteer community with free clinical supervision every month that ensures both ethical and safe practice. This has ensured our trainee team are more prepared and supported to engage in their learning journey, and we have helped them to be the best future for our community's mental health provisions. We make sure our trainee counsellors are not financially disadvantaged during their placement, and this means we can develop and support trainees from more diverse financial backgrounds who previously wouldn't be able to engage in counselling training due to the financial outlay of qualifying. Diversity within our profession is key, and we are proud to support inclusivity within our workplace. In doing this, we are helping to create mental health provisions that reflect our whole county community and not just the financially secure parts. Diversity and inclusion have always been very important at Ratcliffe & Brown CIC and thanks to our kind funders, Cornwall Community Foundation, we could continue this important work even when the cost-of-living-crisis impacted our operating costs.
Our stakeholders are the communities we support and organisations we work with in official and unofficial partnerships. Previous to our project beginning, we invested large amounts of time in detailed market research to identify what our community needs were, what support already existed, and what have worked well previously. From this research, we approached key stakeholders within each community to help design and relevant project that best supported their needs. 2021 saw the pilot of this project achieve great success across all our target communities. We gained end of year feedback in 2022 from our community stakeholders and reviewed the findings at the annual director's meeting. We have amended our project to reflect a greater focus on the “cost-of-living-crisis” that is more central to our community’s needs. We moved our focus to prioritise financially disadvantaged community members and their families and raised awareness of the inequality financial status can cause within our profession for our trainee counsellors.We are grateful for the support and guidance from our community and partner organisations whose feedback continues to shape our project moving forward and to make it keep in line with our community needs and feedback.
