HIVE Directory: Support For Mental Health

We work with people to identify and build their circle of support, which may be friends, family, colleagues, or supporters who form a group, supporting the person to make their own decisions about their life. YOU works in partnership with The EC Roberts Centre and HOPE Portsmouth to support people in crisis in our community.

The Project promotes independence, resilience and recovery from the impacts of COVID through developing Community Circles of Support. We have three Community Circles of Support Partners who help people through outreach, food banks, community larders/pantries and community meals across Portsmouth.

The Community Circles of Support Partners will undertake a holistic assessment identifying skills, potential, root causes of crisis, actions the clients want to take and identify strategies to help themselves for future situations.

The aim of Community Circles of Support Partners is to help people in hardship, including those with complex needs such as mental ill-health, domestic abuse and social isolation. They will benefit from improvements to their health, wellbeing, skills and independence and to understand how to take personal control of their situation.
