We want to let you know about a new free mental health support service called Supported self-help - a Doncaster and South Yorkshire wide service in partnership with Sheffield Mind and Rotherham & Barnsley Mind which is now open to the people in Doncaster who may find it helpful.
This programme is a six-week guided programme for adults experiencing mild-to-moderate mental health problems and is based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
The programme is a step two intervention as part of the stepped care model in England and is in line with National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for guided self-help.
It is delivered by our practitioners who are trained to support people through one of eight pathways:
-
anxiety and panic attacks
-
coping with grief and loss
-
loneliness and feeling lonely
-
low self esteem
-
low mood and depression
-
managing anger
-
managing stress
-
understanding menopause
Supported self-help is ideal for anybody who is not currently accessing mental health treatment and/or may be on a waiting list for additional mental health support. They don’t need a formal diagnosis and this programme can provide an excellent early intervention.
