St Germain’s Wellbeing Hub offers free emotional support to anyone aged 18+ experiencing common mental health problems (e.g. anxiety or depression). People can access this support at our weekly Wellbeing Drop-In, or they can register with us for a short course of one-to-one emotional support sessions. Our Wellbeing Scale data for 2021 showed that more than 85% of who completed courses of these sessions experienced a significant improvement in their mental health.

Our support offers:

• A non-judgemental listening ear

• Help understanding mental health problems and what keeps them going

• Self-help skills and strategies to help with coping and recovery

• Support with accessing other services that can help
  
  

  Our Drop-In runs alongside the church’s Community Café and provides an opportunity to get help with emotional and practical problems, without the need for an appointment. You can just turn up and speak with a member of our team, which includes Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners, Listening Volunteers, local Community Network Support Officers from the Council and Welfare Rights Advisers (who can help with benefits issues). If you are interested in specific support with practical concerns, e.g. housing or benefits, it’s best to email (wellbeinghub@stgermains.org.uk) or call (0121 517 0476) us first to check when the relevant support professional will next be at the Drop-In.
