Signposted Cymru will be delivering community-based services to people with mental health needs.
Signposted Cymru will be delivering community-based services to people with mental health needs. We have designed the 5 Pillars of support, these include: – Physical activities, Social Integration, Financial, Wellbeing and Mindfulness and Counselling and Therapies. We will extend, develop and hone our services to be more effective and efficient, through the use of mobile working, technology and well trained and well led staff.
Founder Darren Thomas started a community-based boot camp that was free to attend during 2020 pandemic/lockdown. Those who attended have been or were suffering from mental health issues and gave focus and goals through testing times.
Darren struggled himself with Mental health for 2 years and every time he went to charities that advocated for mental health, he was referred back to his GP and was offered medication rather than address the underlying cause which in Darren’s case was PTSD.
Darren recorded his journey by posting vlogs on social media including the boot camp session. As a result, the community we built created a network of support for each other and that support grew throughout the UK and escalated quickly. We aim to become a self-sustaining charity with a reputation for developing and delivering community based mental health and well-being services.
We believe that everyone has skills, strengths, talents and dreams. Our aim is for people to discover and nurture these.
People gain confidence, build self-esteem, develop decision making and self-management skills when they are at the centre. Services are more effective and more efficient. We’ve learnt this at Signposted Cymru – working together, tailoring our service is better, for everyone.
