What is Practical Support?
Our SEWB/Mental Health Team is dedicated to providing hands-on support during times of need. We understand that navigating mental health challenges can be overwhelming, which is why we offer more than just advice—we offer practical assistance. Our team is available to guide individuals through the process of accessing the right services, whether that involves organizing appointments, providing transportation to mental health facilities, or assisting with paperwork for services and benefits. In addition, we work closely with healthcare providers, counselors, and community resources to ensure that individuals receive the care they need.
Our support extends beyond the immediate crisis. We continue to provide follow-up care and check-ins to ensure that the individual is feeling supported throughout their journey. Whether it’s helping with daily tasks, coordinating support networks, or connecting people with social services, our aim is to reduce the burden and help individuals focus on their well-being.
When and Where
Our SEWB/Mental Health Team is available Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. A referral from a GP is required to access our services.
Appointments can be made for in-person consultations at our office or through phone consultations for those unable to attend in person.
