Each attendee is given a programme manual to guide them through each session including additional tools and information. We also provide signposting to resources on our website and within our community.
Each session is led by a PoetsIN trained and DBS-checked project worker, who will guide participants through group discussions, solo activity and group activities.
At the start and end of each programme, participants are asked to complete a Mental Wellbeing Assessment allowing us to measure our impact and ensure we continue to be effective.
The programmes are suitable for everyone, including those who want to better their mental wellbeing, but who don’t have a mental illness.
