Two projects (a befriending & outreach service and a counselling service) in Central Notts will combine to support people with mental health difficulties. Clients will be able to live a more independent life with support to help prevent the deterioration of mental health. Guide to Mind workers will support people with individual care plans, counselling and support services once they leave hospital to minimise the risk of re-admission. The counselling and befirending schemes will also be expanded.
