“Community Life Connections” Service Launch

On the 25th January 2010 we launched our brand new, Erdington based, "Community Life Connections" service. We now have an exciting and varied timetable of structured activities that aid well-being, promote recovery and build confidence and self-esteem.

There are weekly groups and workshops that people can attend to complete a course of between four and eight sessions. Examples of some of the groups we run are; gardening, health & fitness, relaxation, aromatherapy and computers skills. There will also be time slots that people can book to work with a member of staff on person centred planning. Some of the activities are led by service users and we will hold regular workshops for service users who wish to learn more about how they can become “service user leads” in the future. We continue to have drop in sessions where people can come to socialise, form friendships and gain information about resources in the local area from staff. There will be times every Saturday where drop-in members can book time slots with staff for emotional support, signposting and resource advice. Every Wednesday, from 2.00pm till 4.00pm, we will be having an open afternoon where people can come and see what we have to offer and take away a referral form and other information and paperwork. If you cannot attend at this time please phone us and we can book a convenient time to speak to you about our activity timetable.
