3 Welcome to The Plymouth & District Mind Recovery College Plymouth & District Mind are a local mental health charity and we have been supporting the mental health of our community for over 30 years. Our Recovery College is a place where people can learn about recovery and wellbeing in a supportive environment. It is also a place where people can think about their hopes and aspirations and explore how to overcome the barriers that can prevent them leading the life they want to live. We are not a college in the traditional sense (there are no exams or difficult assessments!). Instead, we provide a range of services that support people to regain hope, to learn, grow, share and discuss. Our courses, workshops, support groups, counselling and listening services will provide you with the opportunities you need to support your mental health and wellbeing. Our Aim We aim to provide a warm and safe space in which to think about and practise recovery. All our recovery services are designed for people who have lived experience of mental health challenges, supporters/carers, and people who work in services. All of our courses are also co-written by people with life experience of recovery, alongside people who have clinical or health professional experience. Equality and Diversity We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity. This means that everyone who participates in the college is treated equally regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, mobility, religion, or beliefs. Learning Support We offer information and guidance about all our Recovery College services. We will also work with you to create a Learning and Development Plan (LDP) before you start any of our courses. We are dedicated to ensuring that you get the most from whatever service you access through the Recovery College. 2 WELCOME

5 Counselling Service We have a small counselling service through which we provide one to one counselling for people over the age of 18 who may be experiencing some difficulty in coping with life. Clients share any issues of concern with a counsellor whose role is to facilitate the therapy in ways which respect their values and personal resources. The objectives of each counselling relationship vary according to the individual s needs. Issues that an individual may wish to address may include (but are not limited to); Lack of self-confidence and assertiveness skills; Bereavement and loss; Relationship/family problems/conflict; Domestic abuse Our Counsellors Our counsellors are qualified to, or working towards a Diploma in Counselling (Level 4). They all work within their own ethical framework of the organisation they are a member of (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); National Counselling Society). Plymouth & District Mind are registered members of the BACP and follow Mind s Guidelines for Good Practice. Our counsellors are empathic, non-judgemental, non-directive and respect each person s capacity for self-determination. Referrals Counselling Cost Our counselling service is limited so we are currently only accepting self-referrals. Once we receive your registration form, we will be able to assess the Recovery College services than can best help support you. If a member of the team feels that you would really benefit from counselling support, then you will be asked to meet with a senior member of the team to discuss your counselling needs in more detail before being assigned to one of our counsellors. In order to meet the costs of longer term support such as counselling, we charge a small fee of 10 per counselling session. The initial assessment is free. 4 COUNSELLING SERVICE

8 Listening Support Service Our Listening Support Service, which is staffed by trained volunteers, provides the opportunity for people to be heard and unburden any problems they may be facing. The service is confidential and people find it helpful to talk to someone impartial who is not connected to their immediate circumstances. Who is the service for? This service is for anyone aged 18+ who is currently experiencing emotional and mental health difficulties. In particular, they feel that they would really benefit from talking to someone about the issues they are facing. What does the listener do? A listener will simply listen and talk with someone for up to 1 hour at a time, and by so doing offer that vital and very special emotional support that is often most needed by all of us. This service is not counselling however, if the listener feels that you may benefit from longer term counselling, they will be able to advise you on how to access this. How many sessions does the listener offer? Our experience tells us that people find it really beneficial to access the listening service once or twice. For many people, they find that having the space and time to be listened to is sufficient for their needs. For others, it may become more apparent to them that they would benefit from some longer term support and counselling. The listener is there to support you to make those choices. Is there a cost? There is no cost, the service is completely free to access. Please contact us to make an appointment to meet with a listener. 7 LISTENING SUPPORT SERVICE
