"My support worker was fantastic, she gave me the encouragement and empowerment to fulfil my goals, she treated me with understanding and kindness, she is an inspiration."
Many of us will experience a mental health problem in our lifetime and, in the UK, mental illness accounts for a third of all illnesses at any given time.
Mental health issues can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, class or race. They can have a profound affect on family members and particularly children.
Family Action provides specialist mental health and wellbeing services for adults. We work not only with the individual directly affected but also with their children and whole families. We are non-judgemental and focus on building on individual and family strengths in order to support the family towards recovery.
We also recognise that supporting an individual’s sense of emotional wellbeing can prevent an escalation to more serious mental health issues and we offer a range of services that take this early intervention approach.
"My support worker was fantastic, she gave me the encouragement and empowerment to fulfil my goals, she treated me with understanding and kindness, she is an inspiration."
We provide practical and emotional support to help people challenged by mental health issues to retain their independence, choice and community involvement as well as services that support general wellbeing in order to prevent escalation to more severe mental health issues.
