The ongoing national and local initiatives around moving more care into the community has highlighted at the MMC the higher than average levels of mental illness and isolation that is impacting on patients wellbeing. The realisation that a large proportion of mental illness is not necessarily related to health but is more of a social issue, is behind the project offer. The aim will be expanding the current Wellness sessions to include a safe area where patients can come along to have a drink, read or chat amongst themselves, with a PPG volunteer or a trained MH practitioner.

sessions occur twice monthly, contact the organisation directly for more details.
