What makes my Life different?

We believe that our attention to detail and taking the time to understand the person we are supporting is vital. This starts from the point of enquiry or referral.

Referrals come via a range of sources including GPs, occupational therapists, other health and social care professionals, support workers and via self-referral. Self-referrals are generated through engagement at events, posters, leaflets, word of mouth and local press adverts. No matter what the source, our programme coordinator talks to the person about self-management and how the programme can best suit them, exploring which of our menu of options suits them best.

Each interactive session lasts 2.5 hours, with breaks and hand-outs. Carers or support workers are welcome to attend the registration session. Venues are selected for their accessibility and links to the community, i.e a local community centre, library, health facility etc.
