Our Team
Our team’s knowledge and expertise in supported living services comes from a broad range of experiences including, and certainly not limited to: supported living with mental health needs, dual diagnosis, mild learning difficulties and forensic clients. All of the supported living goals and objectives we devise on an individual-level with our end users are carried out to the highest possible standards, and in accordance with the Health And Social Care Act 2008 and appropriate Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines. Whilst practical help is certainly high on our agenda, we also believe and an essential part of any assisted or supported living service is allowing people to engage with their communities in a way that makes them feel valued. Our dedicated team work hard to liaise and consult with a number of individuals and groups to ensure this happens, including: GP’s, Local Authorities and Recovery Colleges as well as local events, activities and training programmes. Our supported living services aim to uncover individual’s strengths and weaknesses in order to find activities tailored to them specifically, which will not only help them take control of their day-to-day lives, but improve their mental health at the same time.
