East Berkshire Wellbeing Service

We provide friendly support and guidance to improve your daily life and wellbeing. We can guide you to the right support if you feel that you’re struggling because of a change to your circumstances, such as:

• Housing issues
• Money worries
• Drug and alcohol misuse
• Loneliness & social isolation
• General wellness and healthy living, including sleep, motivation, resilience

It may be that you’ve already been discharged by your GP in East Berkshire and that the support you require does not meet the needs of a mental health service referral and you feel that you still need support.

We offer one-to-one sessions over the phone, online support programmes, and wellbeing workshops, as well as supported signposting to local services and authorities.

Help you develop a plan

We can arrange a Choices for Wellbeing Call (CWC) with you.

This session lasts approximately 25 minutes and will give you the chance to talk about the difficulties you’re having.

At the end of the call we will agree on a Wellbeing Pathway to help you. This is a plan of action that pulls on our knowledge of local services and common difficulties our clients experience.
