Personalised Community Supports with Peer Mentoring

The Personalised Community Supports with Peer Mentoring Service is focused on a model of personalised community support with an element of peer mentoring. This includes focusing on people's personal support plan, where we support their access to learning, opportunities and the development of new skills and knowledge with the inclusion of peer support.  

The beneficiary groups we support face multiple disadvantages like mental health issues, alcohol/drug addiction, ex-offenders/ housing issues, lack of qualifications/employment and access to services. The planned activities include supporting participant's wellbeing drivers of emotional resilience, strength and mindfulness, connection to others within the community, a sense of security, trust and being included, a sense of purpose and being valued.  

Activities involve participants experiencing taster sessions in IT Waste management, general recycling operations, general office duties and customer services.
