VOLUNTEERING!
People with mental health conditions can experience greater confidence and independence when they are supported through the Recovery in Action Mentoring Initiative.
By working together towards agreed goals and timescales, the help and support of a trained Mentor can make a big difference to getting out and about, making the most of existing interests, and discovering new and different experiences.
Mentors are motivated people who volunteer in order to make a contribution to their community and who are trained to promote people’s mental well being. They often share hobbies and interests with those they help. This can help people meet new friends, develop new interests and become involved with new networks.
For volunteers and the people who use the service, the aim is to create greater social inclusion and the freedom to enjoy an everyday life. As a volunteer Mentor, you may simply want to give something to society or perhaps you’re preparing for a career in mental health care. Whatever your initial reason for becoming involved, you will make a difference to people’s lives and Recovery in Action will help you use your own experience and add further to it. All out-of-pocket expenses will be paid.
