Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund

Year 2 Awardee

Third Level Foundation

NHS/RCH Coordinator

About the project

This application is to support a short term co-ordinator who will become a key link person between RCH/NHS and Third Level Foundation and patients/clients, creating continuity for all involved. The funding will enable us to strengthen our relationship with the NHS - Royal Cornhill Hospital (RCH) and Medical Centres and support them in providing a service for their patients who are on waiting lists. Our workshops will provide immediate support to patients/clients who are struggling and waiting for more in-depth work. This can cut down the risk of the patients/clients falling into a depression or becoming suicidal as they will have support and focus. If people are on their own, they may feel less isolated or lonely while encouraged to attend.

Type of initiative funded: Counselling

Key priority area: Early intervention
