Wellbeing Support from Space to Breathe

As part of our partnerships with Sheffield Health and Social Care and the Voluntary Sector, we are offering wellbeing and self-care support to individuals across the city through referrals. We are able to offer Mindfulness through our Wellbeing Zone service, free places on our Meditation and Reflection course, free weekly resources, 1:1 options for support or someone to support an individual through the Buddy scheme.

This work aims to alleviate the winter pressures on waiting lists for services and provide support for those waiting for care and to those already receiving support through Sheffield’s Social Care and Mental Health support services.

Three are three distinct streams of support which are detailed below and are fully funded for support provided throughout the project pilot with Sheffield Health and Social Care.

Well?

Well? is a weekly email service which offers three wellbeing resources each week on a theme and promotes self-care and building up a person’s wellbeing toolkit. Ideal to accompany a wait for care or to go alongside existing care.

"The Space to Breathe resources are invaluable. They provide our clients with the opportunity to build emotional and psychological resilience, it also provides practical strategies to help pad out their kitbag in readiness for the hard work of counselling. It's reassuring to be able to offer something so useful whilst people are waiting for counselling to start. "
