An outreach service for older adults with poor mental health in the B9 & B10 areas of Birmingham.
A unique holistic approach towards supporting clients in recognition that their poor mental health is often affected by many factors. Specifically, clients are supported to:
- 1. Stay Safe – clients are signposted to gain all necessary walking aids, household adaptions, security locks and personal safety alarms.
- 2. Adopt routine health screening for sight, hearing and regular health checks.
- 3. Develop the healthy diet and exercise regime that is crucial to physical health and supportive of mental health.
- 4. Connect with their local community - During face to face visits, clients are encouraged to talk about their interests and potential hobbies which are central to the individualised plans drawn up to support them in small steps to venture out into the community.
