Operating across Hampshire wide districts.

Our team is made up of Occupational therapists and support staff.

Occupational therapists help people to develop, recover and improve, as well as maintain any skills needed for independent living after a period of illness, injury or change in functional ability.

The team’s support workers directly assist with the rehabilitation programs under the guidance and direction of the therapists.

This service is for people over 18 who live in Portsmouth and want to gain more independence in their day-to-day lives.

Our aim is to support you to improve your day-to-day skills and to learn new ones to support you to live the life you want, as independently as possible.

Whilst we do not have set timescales, an average rehabilitation program is between 6-12 weeks.

Sessions are £3 per family and include a play session, craft activity, snack, toy loan and singing to finish. We provide early intervention to families that are struggling, either by providing advice, guidance, signposting or referral onto the appropriate service to gain in depth support.

Our outreach workers support hard to reach and vulnerable families that are referred to our service or self refer themselves. We are here for as long as the family need us and will visit a family within their own homes, in a quieter place or within one of our community based toy library sessions. Introducing them to other families to create friendships and integrating them into their local community.
