Enhanced Support

You might not feel ready to join a group session. We can still help. We are working with a specialist health coach from Oasis-Talk who can help you feel ready to become involved.
Enhanced support provides one-to-one support to look at your strengths and barriers that are affecting your wellbeing. This understanding informs the creation of a wellbeing plan based on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing (research shows that making changes in these 5 areas of our lives can improve our wellbeing).
Enhanced support could include the following:
- Tailoring the 5 ways to wellbeing to your needs. Understanding your needs can help to identify small changes that you could make to lead to improving your wellbeing. One-to-one support can look in more detail at specific barriers and how to overcome them.
- Empowering you to make small changes which should improve your wellbeing.
- Signposting to organisations that may benefit you to maintain your improved wellbeing. This may include looking at new groups or existing connections.
- Help with problem-solving and reconnecting with your local community.
Using a coaching approach in this role guides you to find and engage with your solutions to problems.
