Welcoming Satvir Kaur MP on World Mental Health Day
To mark World Mental Health Day, we were pleased to welcome Satvir Kaur MP to our Southampton office. During the visit, we shared more about the mental health support we provide and the importance of services shaped by people with lived experience. Opportunities like these help us raise awareness of the challenges facing our communities and the difference that accessible mental health support can make.
Introducing the Crisis Financial Resilience Service
We're pleased to launch our new Crisis Financial Resilience Service at Portsmouth Wellbeing Centre.
Worrying about money can have a big impact on mental health. In the same way, poor mental health can make it harder to manage finances. This new drop-in service offers practical support for adults facing both challenges.
Our Peer Support Worker can help with things like budgeting, benefits, housing issues and finding the right local support. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn, we're here to help you take the next step.
Drop-in appointments are available throughout the week at Portsmouth Wellbeing Centre and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
As Bonfire Night approaches, firework sounds and smells can increase anxiety and stress. Headphones help block out the noise and air fresheners give you a familiar, calming scent. Plan your evening so you can feel as comfortable as possible. For more simple ideas and free resources, explore our Little Lifts toolkit.
