Person-centred mental health care and support<\/h2>\n \n

A mental health diagnosis can be life changing, but you don't have to lose your independence.<\/p>\n \n \n

We understand mental illness can affect people in different ways, each bringing their own unique challenges. At Helping Hands, while we want to make it clear that we’re not mental health specialists<\/strong>, we can still help people with many different types of mental illnesses through the practical home support<\/a> provided by a fully trained and dedicated carer.<\/p>\n

We take the emotional well-being and dignity of the people we care for extremely seriously. By supporting people to live in their own home, we often see a positive impact on self-confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Our approach to mental health care<\/h2>\n \n

At Helping Hands, our care is always tailored to the individual.<\/p>\n \n \n

In the UK, one in four people experience some form of mental health illness. We recognise that relying on a stranger to care and support you and your loved one isn\u2019t always the easiest step to take. However, our compassionate live-in carers provide companionship, support and 24\/7 practical care, giving you peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

How can a carer support you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our wonderful carers all receive training in supporting people with a wide range of needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving care at home for a mental health condition can enable you to live life more independently and on your own terms, knowing that you\u2019ve got someone there to support you practically, physically and emotionally. Whether your carer is just popping in a few times a week or several times a day, they can support your independence in a number of ways.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Oscar\u2019s story: Life on the farm<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Oscar, born and raised on the farm, has been receiving visiting care from Helping Hands for approximately 12 months now. It\u2019s a solution that allows Oscar to deal with his mental illnesses and feed his beloved pigs, daily. He was diagnosed with Asperger\u2019s, Dyslexia and OCD, but wanted to maintain his rural life. With help from his carer, Sadie, Oscar can manage the farm without his conditions getting in the way.<\/p>\n

Oscar explains, \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have a friend to chat to\u201d whilst he\u2019s feeding the pigs, walking the dogs and carrying out general farm duties. He adds, \u201ctalking has really helped me to open up\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
