About
The Reading Community Outreach Service will focus on providing mental health support in the community within Reading to improve the wellbeing of people and help build resilience and independence to help combat issues with poverty and inequality.
We provide personalised support delivered by Peer Outreach Workers, who have a lived experience of mental health themselves, who bring a genuine understanding and empathetic approach in supporting you to work towards your goals. The service will be providing 1-2-1 support of up to 9 weeks whilst meeting people in the community or providing phone and online sessions. There will also be a group programme themed around wellbeing, developing coping strategies, self-management and facilitating peer support.
Part of our support is specifically for people in Reading from the refugee and asylum seeker community. We offer specialist one to one and group support from a Peer Outreach Worker who has first-hand experience of being a refugee.
