Who is this service for?  

This service is for anyone who is currently receiving primary or secondary mental health services whose care is coming to an end with that team and it is felt that the recovery coach team's 3x3 model would be of benefit to them during this transitional period.

It is also for anyone who has accessed primary or secondary mental health services within the last 12 months and may wish to revisit their recovery goals by linking back in with our services.

The service offers three coaching, three skills development workshops, and three peer support worker sessions (named the 3x3 model) to help people identify the next steps in their recovery journey and what support they may need to achieve this.

The team consists of recovery coaches, a peer trainer, and peer support workers.

• The recovery coaches have been trained in coaching methods to empower people to take control of their recovery journey by helping them to establish their own goals.
• The peer trainer combines lived experience with educational training to support people in learning strategies and tools that can help them in their recovery journey.
• The peer support workers are people with lived experience around mental health who are trained to support others to achieve the goals that they have identified.

What is recovery?

Traditionally, the concept of recovery in mental health has been judged primarily on the absence of psychiatric symptoms and a reduction in the number or frequency of hospital admissions. Our approach is about providing people with the strategies, tools, knowledge, and resources in order for them to live a satisfying and fulfilling life, with or without the absence of symptoms.

How can the programme help?  

• Coaching can empower people to move towards their desired goals.
• Coaching can help people to bring about discovery, change and action.
• The skills workshops can support people to positively manage challenges in their life such as unhelpful thoughts and limiting self-belief.
• Working with our peer support workers can help bring someone's goals to life, either through practical support and/or reinforcement of the skills and goals that have been identified.
