HIVE Directory: My Emotional Wellbeing

Monthly, we transform a church into a pop-up beauty room, providing a safe, confidential space for women to come and receive a warm welcome, free beauty treatments and a delicious brunch!

We believe simple kindness is a powerful, transformative characteristic and so our spa events are filled with encouragement and opportunities for the women we meet to feel valued.

Spark Community Space is a local charity, working to reach those who have been left out or left behind, to give people a place to belong, to be part of a community of support, to heal together and to spark back into life.

Make The First Step

Once we receive your referral, we’ll contact you within five working days to arrange assessment.

We’ll send you some information about the assessment, and a couple of questionnaires to complete before we talk. These questionnaires will help us get a clearer understanding of your difficulties.

During the assessment, we’ll ask you how you’re feeling and how you’ve been coping up to now. We’ll listen to you and we won’t judge what you say.

It’s ok if you don’t know where to start. Sometimes it’s difficult to describe our thoughts or feelings. We’ll help you make sense of things.

We’ll ask a series of standard questions to help us understand the type of support that would be best for you.

COMMUNITY GARDEN - It has now become a seasonal hub for healthy living outdoor growing activities, and acknowledged to be one the most sympathetically restored spaces for growing edible produce, which is an assorted selection of raised beds and potting benches.

The Parenting Network is a non profit charitable organisation working to empower parents and build a supportive community of families who live within the city of Portsmouth.

We are a befriending service who actively listen to parents within our communities, providing advice, support and signposting towards more appropriate specialist services.

Our work with families is delivered through a series of engaging programmes that promote fun learning, strengthening family bonds and bringing people together whilst also tackling stigmas, gender stereotyping and social isolation.

We have a number of teams working with GP Surgeries specialising in Social Prescribing, Health Coaching, and Care Coordination. We work with people to find out what is important to them, linking them with all the great things they want to do that will have a positive impact on their physical and mental health.

The YOU Trust employs a range of skilled workers for our Social Prescribing. Such as:

Social Prescribing Link Workers
Care Coordinators
Health Coaches
They are employed on behalf of some innovative GP Practices. These are based inn Portsmouth & South East Hampshire. However, other GP practices employ their own Social Prescribers directly. If you are a patient and would like to speak to a Social Prescriber, then please ask the receptionist at your GP surgery to make an appointment.
