What I Do
I started as a Peer Support Worker in May 2022, having previously worked for Moving Forward Newcastle and Together In A Crisis Gateshead and have lived experience of mental health issues.
How I Support Patients
We work with any adult who has mental health issues. Our aim is to improve well being and reduce isolation through community connections with relevant supportive groups.
Get in touch
We will speak with people on the phone first, and work together to identify current groups or needs for new groups and offer support to attend introductory sessions if needed.
We currently accept referrals through GP practices or people can self-refer to our service via our online form or by email to smi.support@nhs.net.
